During the San Fermín festival in Pamplona, Spain, three participants were injured during a bull run on Tuesday, marking the first incident of the annual event. The injuries were not life-threatening, with most participants suffering minor bruises. The state television network RTVE reported that the sharp horns of the bulls did not cause severe harm, though three individuals were taken to the hospital. The festival, held in honor of the city’s patron saint, Saint Fermín, began on Monday and concludes the next day. Each morning, six bulls, some weighing over 600 kilograms, lead groups of young men through narrow streets of the old town toward the bullring in the late afternoon. Annually, dozens of runners are injured while testing their bravery on a route approximately 825 meters long. Since 1924, there have been 16 recorded fatalities, with the last occurring in 2009. Animal rights activists continue to protest the traditional event, which has been held since 1591, calling it a 'medieval form of torture.' Despite opposition, the festival still attracts thousands of visitors worldwide.
