Spanish authorities say two people have died in northeastern Spain in a wildfire that spread quickly before firefighters brought it under control

France's ecological transition minister, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, said the two deaths in her country were a result of "heat-related illness". It comes as France registered its second-hottest June since records began in 1900. June 2025 only trails behind June 2023, when the country also experienced intense heat.

Authorities in the Catalonia region confined about 14,000 people to their homes on Tuesday due to two wildfires that broke out in the province of Lerida.
