More than 120 people injured in a train derailment and subsequent crash on the Moscow metro remain in the hospital, three in critical condition, health officials said Thursday.
Twenty-two people have died since three metro cars slid off the tracks between the western Slavyansky Bulvar and Park Pobedy stations on the city's Dark Blue Line during rush hour on Tuesday morning.
In total, 255 people were given medical assistance following the crash.
Of those still in the hospital, 25 are considered to be in serious condition, 74 in moderately severe condition and 48 in satisfactory condition, the Health Ministry said in a statement. Thirteen victims have been discharged from the hospital.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
