At least 11 dead and 19 missing in wildfire in southern Spain

Last year, a record 393,000 hectares (971,000 acres) burned in Spain, according to the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS), more than six times the Spanish average for between 2006 and 2024.

At least 11 people have died, and 19 others are missing in a wildfire in southern Spain, Andalusia's regional leader Juanma Moreno has said.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said in May that Spain would deploy its largest-ever summer wildfire response this year, local media reported.
