A passenger train derailed in Normandy, France, on the Rouen-Caen route, injuring 44 people, one critically. France's transport minister said 180 passengers were on board when the derailment occurred, prompting a large emergency response with 130 firefighters and five medical teams. French officials are now investigating whether the derailment was caused by a malicious act, after a rail fragment was discovered on the tracks near the crash site. The finding has shifted the inquiry toward the possibility of deliberate sabotage rather than mechanical or infrastructure failure.
