Three injured as new tremors hit Granada in Spain

Three individuals were lightly injured after a series of earthquakes struck Spain's southern Granada province. The Alhambra complex, a renowned medieval site, was temporarily closed due to structural damage and safety concerns. At least one of the injured was a child who required medical attention. The tremors, each with a magnitude above 4, followed a magnitude 5 earthquake earlier in the day that caused significant damage to buildings and vehicles in the historic city.

Authorities instructed residents to stay indoors and avoid outdoor activities due to the ongoing seismic activity. Emergency services received numerous calls reporting cracks, falling debris, and other earthquake-related incidents. The region remains under close watch as experts caution that further seismic movements and aftershocks may occur.
