At least 11 people have died in a wildfire in southern Spain, with early indications suggesting four of the victims are British, according to a local official.
Hundreds of emergency responders are working to contain the blaze around Los Gallardos, Almería, which appears to have been caused by a downed power line.
The bodies of the victims were found near the small village of Bédar, just outside Los Gallardos, while 19 others are still missing and hundreds of residents have been evacuated.
Regional president Juanma Moreno calls the impact of the fire "devastating" and warns the death toll could rise significantly.
A sustained heatwave with temperatures of around 40C (104F) has caused wildfires across southern Europe this summer.
Electricity provider disputes that fire was caused by fallen power line
Earlier we brought you comments from Andalusia's regional leader Juanma Moreno, who said the fire appeared to have been caused by a fallen power line.
This has since been disputed by Spanish electricity company Endesa, which sent a technician to investigate the power line in question at 02:00 (01:00 BST), reports Spain's public broadcaster RTVE.
Endesa says the fallen power line identified at the start of the blaze does not belong to them and is inactive.
RTVE reports that Endesa found the cable was from a private connection to a restaurant that shut more than 25 years ago, and whose electrical service has since been disconnected.
Red Eléctrica, a separate electricity company, has also denied that the line belongs to its network.
A Civil Guard investigation into whether the blaze was caused by a fallen power line remains ongoing.
Recent heatwaves leave Europe vulnerable to wildfires
Heatwaves across Europe have dried out vast areas of land and made them particularly vulnerable to wildfires.
"The fire danger remains at very high or extreme levels in much of the country," Spain's meteorological agency says, urging people to "take extra precautions".
In June, Spain reached its highest daily average since 1950, and had days where it recorded its highest ever temperatures for that month. Temperatures as high as 42C (107.6F) were forecast in some parts of the country.
Climate change is driving up temperatures around the world, and Europe is the fastest warming continent, heating up twice as fast as the global average, according to the Copernicus climate service.
This is causing increased summer heatwaves, greater pressure on Europe's water supply, and more intense wildfires.
A wildfire in southern France has also forced thousands of people to evacuate as the country faces an early summer heatwave.
The fires have also affected Spain where more than 2,200 hectares in the natural reserve of Les Gavarres in the north of the country have been destroyed.
Firefighters use helicopters as terrain prevents engines from reaching flames
Emergency crews are continuing to battle the deadly blaze in Spain's southern Almería region.
Authorities say at least seven helicopters are involved in firefighting efforts, with hundreds more personnel on the ground.
Pedro Riado, the mayor of Antas, tells Spanish broadcaster RTVE that firefighters are using aerial equipment to tackle the fire as the local terrain makes it diffiuclt for engines to reach the flames.
