MUMBAI, India (CNN) — At least 40 people have been killed in seven explosions on crowded rush-hour commuter trains in the Indian financial capital of Mumbai, police said.
More than 100 people were injured in the blasts, which took place between 6:20 and 7 p.m. (1250 and 1330 GMT) when the trains were packed with commuters making their way home.
A correspondent for CNN’s sister network, CNN-IBN, reported seeing 15 bodies at the Matunga train station.
Video from one station showed people with blood on them being treated, other commuters carrying victims and some people lying motionless near train tracks.
At least one train was split in half by the explosion.
