Firefighters battle blaze in one room for two hours as local mayor cites smoke inhalation as likely cause of deaths.
A blaze in a care home in Spain’s northeastern Aragon region has killed at least 10 people and left two in critical condition.
Local authorities reported that the fire broke out about 5am (04:00 GMT) on Friday at the Jardines de Villafranca home in the town of Villafranca de Ebro, 28km (18 miles) southeast of the city of Zaragoza.
Firefighters came from Zaragoza to battle the blaze, which took two hours to extinguish.
Volga Ramirez, the mayor of Villafranca de Ebro, told reporters that inhalation of intense smoke from the fire was likely responsible for the deaths.
The cause of the fire was not yet known, but Ramirez said it was confined to one room installed with a security door, which prevented the fire from spreading.
