- On Monday, a fire in a storage space inside a residential block in Manlleu killed five people and injured four others.
- Officials note the space may have been converted into living quarters, and for reasons still unknown, victims could not escape the storage area during the fire.
- Authorities say the victims appear to be young people, possibly teenagers, and identification will be completed throughout Tuesday morning due to charred bodies complicating the process.
- Residents raised the alarm shortly after 21:00 local time, prompting Catalonia's fire brigade to respond, and Catalan President Salvador Illa Roca expressed his deepest condolences and shock.
- The Mossos d'Esquadra, Catalan police, have opened an investigation into the cause of the fire that struck Manlleu, a town of 21,000 about 80km north of Barcelona.
