At least 12 people have died as a wildfire ripped through southern Spain's Almería province amid a stifling heatwave that has gripped the country.
Authorities raised an earlier death toll of six to 12 "after the confirmation of six more deaths in the area of the fire," the regional government of Andalusia said in a statement.
Some of the dead in Bedar in Almería were found in vehicles, the regional government said in a statement.
Around 150 firefighters backed by five fire trucks battled the blaze which broke out as temperatures neared 40C.
Roads were closed and residents evacuated as the inferno spread, with about 50 people housed in a cultural centre.
