Severe Flooding in Southern Spain Leaves One Dead and Several Missing

Heavy rain from storm 'Laurence' has caused widespread disruption, with emergency services bracing for further impacts from incoming storm 'Martin.'

Authorities have confirmed the death of a woman whose body was found after her car was swept away by floodwaters in Sevilla province; her husband remains missing.
A cyclist has also been reported missing as search and rescue operations continue across affected regions.
Hundreds of residents have been evacuated in Andalusia and Murcia due to rising river levels, with significant road and rail disruptions reported.
