Five injured at the start of the traditional running of the bulls in Pamplona

Five people were injured during the first bull run of this year at the San Fermin festival in Pamplona, Spain, according to AFP. The injuries were mainly bruises caused by the long, sharp horns of the bulls. Three of the participants were taken to the hospital by Spanish public television RTVE. The festival, held in honor of the city’s patron saint, Saint Fermín, began on Monday and will continue until next Tuesday. Each morning, six bulls—some weighing over 600 kilograms—together with several domestic cattle, run through the narrow streets of the old town toward the arena, where bullfights take place later in the day. Every year, dozens of participants, mostly young men, join the traditional run along a route approximately 825 meters long. Since 1924, 16 people have died during the event, with the last fatality occurring in 2009. Despite ongoing criticism from animal rights organizations, who describe the bull runs as 'medieval torture' and call for the tradition to end, the festival continues to attract thousands of visitors worldwide.

Five were injured on the first day of the traditional running of the bulls in Pamplona.

Five people were injured during the first bull run of this year's San Fermin festival in Pamplona, Spain, according to AFP. The injuries were mainly bruises caused by the long, sharp horns of the bulls. Three of the participants were taken to the hospital by Spanish state television RTVE. The festival, held in honor of the city's patron saint, Saint Fermín, began on Monday and will continue until next Tuesday. Each morning, six bulls—some weighing over 600 kilograms—are led through the narrow streets of the old town toward the arena, where bull runs take place later in the day.

Bias read (Center): The article reports on a cultural event with no direct political implications. It provides factual information about injuries during the festival, historical context, and mentions criticisms from animal rights groups but does not take a stance or show bias in framing.
