Fires force evacuations in Bucharest, kill elderly man in Spain, and spark arson probes in Finland and Italy
A fire in Bucharest’s Sector 2 forces the evacuation of seven residents this morning after flames engulf a restaurant and three adjacent commercial spaces. Emergency crews report the blaze spread across 200 square metres of the ground floor on Colentina Road, prompting authorities to clear a neighbouring apartment block as a precaution, according to Romanian broadcaster Digi24 .
In southern Spain, an elderly man dies in a house fire in Casabermeja, Málaga, after firefighters find his body when the roof collapses. Andalusian health and civil guard units responded to the incident, though the cause remains under investigation .
Finnish police in Vantaa are treating a residential fire as a potential crime after rescuing cats trapped behind a burning door. While the blaze’s origin is still unclear, officers have filed a criminal report without ruling out arson .
Elsewhere, an arson attack targets the home of a journalist in Caivano, near Vicenza, with assailants leaving Molotov cocktails and gas canisters at the scene. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemns the assault as an "unacceptable attack on press freedom" . No injuries were reported in the incident, which follows recent threats against the journalist and local priest Don Patriciello.
