PTI, July 10, 2026, Madrid: One of Spain's deadliest wildfires on record killed 12 people overnight into Friday, authorities said, as soaring temperatures grip much of the country.
Several victims of the fire in the southern province of Almeria, a popular holiday destination, were found inside burnt-out vehicles and were thought to have died while trying to flee the flames.
Eight people have been injured and a further 23 are unaccounted for, Andalusia's regional leader Juan Manuel Moreno said.
Some 150 firefighters and 220 soldiers from Spain's military emergency unit were battling the blaze, which has consumed more than 3,200 hectares of forest and farmland.
Regional emergency authorities said four British nationals and other unspecified foreign nationals appeared to be among the victims.
