MADRID - Spain's Prime minister Mariano Rajoy on Thursday said he would declare three days of official mourning after a train derailed in the northwestern region of Galicia, killing at least 78 people and injuring up to 131.

"I will sign a decree to declare three days of official mourning in all Spain," Rajoy told journalists after visiting the Santiago de Compostela hospital where most victims were taken.
