Al menos 31 heridos al estallar material pirotécnico en el inicio de las fiestas de Noáin (Navarra)

At least 31 people were injured when pyrotechnic material exploded on the balcony of Noáin's municipal building, marking the start of the town's patron saint festival in Navarra. Three of the injured required hospitalization at Navarra's university hospital, while several others with minor wounds sought treatment at the local health center using their own vehicles, according to Navarra's 112-SOS service.

The incident occurred around noon in the Plaza de los Fueros, in front of the municipal building, where rockets traditionally announce the beginning of the festivities. The number of injured has been updated to 31, with three of them in critical condition following the explosion of several rockets among the crowd during the chupinazo.
