Firefighters in Andalusia have gained the upper hand over a wildfire that ignited on Thursday, thanks in part to improved weather conditions. The blaze, which has scorched large swaths of the southern region, is now being contained by a force of roughly 500 firefighters working across the affected area.

Official reports indicate that the fire has already claimed at least 12 lives, with another seven individuals listed as missing. Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation closely while the firefighting effort focuses on preventing further spread and protecting nearby communities.

As the weather improves, emergency services expect to maintain control of the fire and begin the process of assessing damage and aiding survivors. The incident underscores the ongoing challenges posed by Spain’s increasingly frequent and intense wildfires.
