A wildfire in southern Spain has killed at least 12 people and left 23 missing as of Saturday, with hundreds of firefighters struggling to contain the blaze. The fire is reported to be one of Spain’s deadliest in recent years. At least four Britons are believed to be among the victims.
The situation began to ease on Saturday, allowing firefighters to directly attack the flames for the first time, officials said. Hundreds of firefighters have been deployed, supported by helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. The blaze initially proved difficult to control due to challenging terrain and high temperatures.
While the fire’s intensity has lessened, the search for the 23 missing individuals continues. No right-leaning outlets are represented among the sources reporting on this event. Left and lean-left sources consistently report the death toll at a minimum of 12, with BBC World noting that at least four of those killed were British citizens.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, and authorities have not released details regarding its origin or potential contributing factors. The focus is currently on extinguishing remaining hotspots and locating those who remain unaccounted for.
