3 Killed After Tornado Hits Spain
Israa Farhan A powerful tornado struck southern Spain on Friday, destroying an agricultural warehouse and killing three workers inside. The tragedy occurred near the town of Dos Hermanas, close to Seville in the Andalusia region. Emergency services reported that rescue teams were called to the scene around 11:35 a.m. local time. The tornado's strong winds ripped the roof off the 500-square-meter warehouse, causing the building to collapse completely and trapping the workers inside. Following the incident, Spain's Minister of Labor and Social Economy announced the formation of a special investigation team to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the collapse. Labor unions also responded to the disaster. The Seville branch of the Workers' Commissions union stressed the need for companies to halt operations immediately when severe weather warnings are issued. Ignoring safety precautions was identified as a major risk factor for similar tragedies. This incident highlights the urgent need for stricter safety measures to protect agricultural workers, especially as the region faces increasingly unpredictable weather conditions. While Andalusia occasionally experiences violent storms, events as deadly as this remain rare. Local authorities have urged citizens to stay away from the disaster site until search and rescue operations are completed. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
