A high-rise residential building in the Spanish city of Valencia has been engulfed by a major fire.
The blaze - which is ongoing - occurred at a 14-storey block in the Campanar neighbourhood and spread to an adjoining building.
More than 20 fire crews are tackling the fire and people have been urged to stay away from the area.
Several people have been injured in the incident, with local media reporting people may be trapped inside.
The Valencia Emergency Coordination Centre said 13 people had been treated for injuries, including six firefighters.
Local reports said firefighters had rescued several residents using cranes, including a couple living on the seventh floor.
One man who lives on the second floor of the building told TV channel La Sexta that the flames grew rapidly after the fire started, reportedly on the fourth floor.
"The fire spread in a matter of 10 minutes," he said, adding that material on the facade of the building may have caused the fire to spread.
David Higuera, an engineer, told El País the building's cladding may have been the cause of the rapid spread of the fire. The aluminium plates with an foam insulator making up the outer layer of the building are "very good at insulating against heat and cold, but very combustible," he said.
One woman told TVE she had seen firefighters attempting to rescue a teenage boy trapped on the building's first floor.
Firefighters were called at around 17:30 local time. A field hospital has been set up in the area, RTVE reported. People displaced from their homes would be housed in hotels, authorities said.
Writing on X (formerly known as Twitter) Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said: "Dismayed by the terrible fire in a building in Valencia... I want to convey my solidarity to all the people affected and recognition to all the emergency personnel already deployed at the scene."
