Andalusia is managing a dual emergency involving a magnitude 5 earthquake in Alhendín, Granada, and a massive forest fire in Niebla, Huelva. The wildfire has impacted more than 38,000 hectares, marking it as one of the largest summer fires in the region.

King Felipe VI contacted the President of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, to offer support and monitor the situation. Meanwhile, the PSOE-A party has criticized President Moreno, with Secretary of Statutory Development Mario Jiménez accusing him of being “indolent and irresponsible” for not visiting the fire zone sooner while emergency workers were being injured.
