IrelandWildfires in southern Spain have resulted in at least 11 deaths, with 19 people missing, as firefighters work to contain one of the country's deadliest blazes. Most of the victims appear to be foreign nationals who attempted to flee by car rather than follow shelter-in-place orders. The incident mirrors similar tragedies in neighboring Portugal, where over 60 people died in a 2017 wildfire. Early summer heatwaves have led to widespread drought conditions, contributing to an earlier-than-usual start to the wildfire season. This year, approximately 57,000 hectares have burned, representing 40% of all EU-area burned in the European Union. Officials are working to identify the deceased and locate the missing, while some families have turned to social media for assistance. Authorities believe the fire likely began due to strong afternoon winds, though a utility company has ruled out a power line fault.
