Eurostar partially resumes train services on only railway link between UK, continental Europe

European high-speed train service provider Eurostar said on Tuesday that it had partially resumed services in the Channel Tunnel, the only railway link between the UK and continental Europe, after a power supply issue caused the temporary closure of the route earlier in the day.

Despite service resumption, the company warned that "there may still be some delays and possible last-minute cancellations."

The video footage shot on Tuesday in London's St. Pancras International Train Station, a major transportation hub connecting the UK and continental Europe, showed halted Eurostar trains in an almost empty station hall.

Previously, passengers could reach a wide range of European countries like France, Belgium, and the Netherlands from the station through the Channel Tunnel.

Last year, approximately 19.5 million passengers departed from St. Pancras International Train Station for continental Europe.

If the station suspends operations for a day, it would affect the travel plans of over 50,000 passengers heading to continental Europe.  

On Dec 16, a similar incident took place, with a great number of Eurostar trains being delayed or canceled after a power supply problem in the Channel Tunnel, causing significant disruption in a busy travel period between Christmas and New Year.

Iran's Ministry of Tourism organized a memorial in the capital Tehran on Monday to grieve for the victims of a girls' elementary school in the southern Iranian city of Minab, where mourners laid flowers on classroom desks placed at the site.

Up to 165 people were killed in the deadly Israeli-U.S. airstrikes on Shajareh Tayyebeh School on February 28, according to Iranian authorities.

The students were sitting behind their desks when the missiles hit their school and they were killed in a few seconds, authorities said.

Mourners, including mothers, fathers and children, recreated a classroom from the school outdoors in a powerful symbolic remembrance of the innocent young ones who lost their lives.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has condemned the airstrikes in a statement after the attack, calling them "inhumane" and a barbaric act that "adds another dark page to the chronicle of countless crimes committed by aggressors" against Iran.
