Spain Retirement Home Blaze Leaves Eight Dead
A blaze in a retirement home in northern Spain overnight left eight people dead and 11 hurt, the regional government said Sunday.
"There are eight dead and 11 hurt, including two seriously from smoke inhalation," a spokesman for the Aragon region government told Agence France Presse, adding that the cause of the fire was not yet known.
The area has for more than a week suffered from a heat wave. A fire between July 3 and 7 saw nearly 14,000 hectares burned in what was the country's worst blaze since 2012.
