Wildfire in Spain's Andalusia region kills 11, leaves 19 missing

A wildfire tore through the village of Bedar in the Los Gallardos district of southern Spain, killing 11 people and leaving 19 missing. Authorities believe many victims may be foreign tourists, including four who may have been British and were burned in their car. The fire erupted in the Andalusia region northeast of Almeria, fueled by temperatures forecast to hit 40°C. Witnesses suggest a fallen power line may have ignited scrubland. Around 400 firefighters and troops battled the blaze. Antonio Sanz, Andalusia's minister for emergencies, confirmed the death toll in a social media video, expressing grief. The fire is part of a heatwave affecting Spain and France, with forest fires blazing in both countries.
