As a result of strong rains that caused sudden flooding in the south and east of the country, seven people went missing yesterday in Spain. Floods led to a parallel disruption of air and rail transport. Carlos Mazón, leader of the autonomous region of Valencia, stated that several bodies were found but did not disclose a specific number of victims.
The Spanish airport management company reported the rerouting of 12 flights originally scheduled for landing at Valencia airport to other cities due to the heavy rains and gusty winds, and also about the cancellation of 10 other flights. The municipality of Valencia decided to suspend classes in schools and sporting events today, avoiding crowding in parks. The railway company 'Adif' suspended all train services in the Valencia region.
The Spanish meteorological center announced an increased level of alert in the Valencia region and a higher level of vulnerability in certain parts of Andalusia. Due to the flooding, many roads in neighboring areas were blocked.
