At least nine people have been killed and 55 rescued following a train explosion in India on Saturday, local district officials report.

The blast occurred in the morning, after a gas cylinder was brought aboard the train by passengers and ignited to make coffee, Madurai district collector M.S. Sangeetha said.

The gas cylinder caused an explosion and left passengers trapped in the train coach until someone found them and broke the windows.

The train was carrying pilgrims in India's southern Tamil Nadu, according to reports. The rescued passengers were reportedly sent to the nearby Rajaji Railway Hospital.
