Hundreds of firefighters battle wildfire in southern Spain that killed at least 12

Hundreds of firefighters in southern Spain battle a deadly wildfire that killed at least 12 people, primarily foreign nationals who ignored shelter-in-place instructions. The fire, which scorched 66 square kilometers near Almeria province, led to the evacuation of 1,448 people and the arrest of two individuals for returning to a high-risk area. Authorities attribute the blaze's severity to a 'climate emergency' and extreme heat.
