Fire ripped through a retirement home in the town of Villafranca del Ebro in northern Spain early on Friday, killing at least 10 people, the regional government of Aragon said.
The blaze started in a residence for elderly called "Jardines de Villafranca" around 5 a.m. (0800 GST) and it took a couple of hours for firefighters to put it out, a spokesperson for the regional government said.
