A wildfire in Huesca has forced the evacuation of approximately 900 people from 12 localities. The fire, which spans about 8,000 hectares, poses a significant threat to the region.

As a precautionary measure, skeletal remains from the San Juan de la Peña monastery have been relocated. This monastery is known for its historical and cultural significance in Aragon.

Additionally, specialized teams from the UME have rescued several key items from the monastery, including pre-Romanesque jewelry and other historical treasures considered symbols of Aragonese history.
