Spain wildfire in Andalusia leaves 12 dead, 23 missing as heatwave worsens crisis
A fast-spreading wildfire near Los Gallardos in Almería, southern Spain, has killed at least 12 people and left 23 missing amid a severe heatwave and strong winds. Evacuations are underway as hundreds of personnel and about 30 aircraft fight the blaze; authorities say many victims may be foreign nationals, including Britons, and the UK Foreign Office is coordinating with Spain while investigators examine the cause. Satellite imagery shows extensive areas burned.
