Pamplona Narrow streets, heavy cops: Five injured in a bullfight

During the annual San Fermín festival in Pamplona, Spain, five runners were injured while participating in the bull-running event. The injuries primarily consisted of bruises, and there were no reports of severe horn-related injuries, according to RTVE. The festival, which honors the city's patron saint San Fermín, has been controversial for years due to animal welfare concerns. Animal rights groups continue to protest against the tradition, which dates back to 1591 but is now considered contentious in Spain. Despite the protests, the event attracts thousands of visitors from around the world. Each morning, six large bulls weighing up to 600 kilograms and several tame cows are chased through the narrow streets of the old town, leading them to the arena where bullfighting takes place later in the day. Every year, dozens of participants sustain injuries during this dangerous run, and since 1924, there have been 16 fatalities, with the last occurring in 2009.
