CAIRO — A fire ripped through Cairo’s main train station after a train rammed a barrier on Wednesday, killing at least 20 people and wounding dozens of others, medics and Egyptian news reports said.

Initial reports said that the train had torn through the barrier at the Ramses train station in the Egyptian capital.

Photos of charred bodies, some strewn on the tracks, circulated on social media. Clouds of smoke billowed across the city center. Some local news media put the toll as high as 24 dead and more than 50 injured.

“I was standing on the platform and I saw the train speed into the barrier,” Mina Ghaly told Reuters. “Everyone started running, but a lot of people died after the locomotive exploded.”
