Spanish firefighting teams discovered two bodies following a wildfire that broke out in the province of Lleida, in the northeastern region of Catalonia, amid an intense heatwave sweeping the country.

In a statement, emergency and firefighting services said, "Fire crews found two deceased individuals" near the town of Coscó.

Catalonia’s regional president, Salvador Illa, expressed his “sorrow” over the deaths.

Authorities in the region ordered around 14,000 people to stay indoors due to this fire and another that erupted around the same time in the same province.
