Up to 100 people were feared injured on Monday when a passenger train derailed in Russia's southern Volgograd region, Russian news agencies reported.

The Interfax news agency said that eight train cars had been derailed. "Paramedics are on the scene," the emergency ministry said, adding that 324 emergency workers were involved.

Emergency helicopters were being scrambled to the scene near the Kotelnikovo station. The train was travelling from Kazan to Adler on the Black Sea.
