Spain tower block fire: Rescuers search for up to 15 missing people

At least four people have died and several others are injured or missing after a fire ripped through two residential buildings in the eastern Spanish port city of Valencia.

The blaze appears to have started on Thursday evening in a 14-storey apartment block on the outskirts of the city centre and later spread to an adjacent building, engulfing both in flames that sent large plumes of smoke billowing to the sky.

María José Catalá, the mayor of Valencia, has said that there are between 9 and 15 people who have yet to be located, Reuters reported.
