Two killed, 12 injured in ongoing wildfires across Spain
MADRID: Spanish state television reported Wednesday that dozens of wildfires continue to sweep through Spain, leaving two people dead and 12 others injured, including two firefighters, and destroying lands. Over 6,000 residents were evacuated as fires coincided with an intense heatwave gripping the country for the past 11 days, expected to persist until next Monday. Authorities said one victim died after suffering severe burns in a forest fire in Tres Cantos, Madrid, while the other, a volunteer, lost his life battling a blaze in Castile and Leon. The Spanish government activated a pre-emergency phase to enhance coordination and mobilize resources, as six major fires remain active across six autonomous regions, including Castile and Leon, Castilla-La Mancha, Galicia, Extremadura, Andalusia, and Madrid. The fires have destroyed 59,000 hectares of forest and woodland so far this year, matching the total area burned in all of 2024. — KUNA
