The bull-running event took place on the second day of Spain’s famous San Fermin Festival, which was re-organized this year after a two-year hiatus due to the corona virus. Hundreds of people attended the event that took place on an 850-meter road leading from the city streets to the bullfighting arena. Authorities reported that some runners were injured in the bull-running for a variety of reasons. According to Red Cross officials, five people were taken to hospitals for treatment, including a man who injured his leg, a person who was hit on the head by a falling, and a young man who was injured in his arm.

A total of 16 people have lost their lives since 1910 in the bull-running event held at the festival. The last death was recorded in 2009.

Russia-Azerbaijan Tensions Escalate Amid Detentions and Deadly Raids

0

Amid rising tensions between Russia and Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani community leader in Yekaterinburg, Shahin Shikhlinski, and his son Mutvali were briefly detained by Russian police near Baku Plaza shopping mall on July 1. Footage of the harsh detention circulated widely on social media, sparking public outrage in Azerbaijan. Both were released later that evening after giving witness statements.

The detentions follow a deadly Russian security operation on June 27 targeting Azerbaijani nationals in Yekaterinburg. Two brothers, Ziyeddin and Huseyn Safarov, were killed, three others were seriously injured, and nine were detained. The Russian Interior Ministry said the raids were part of a criminal investigation and were supported by the National Guard’s SOBR unit, but did not address the reported casualties.

In response, Azerbaijan summoned Russia’s chargé d’affaires and demanded a full investigation. The Azerbaijani Ministry of Culture also canceled all Russian cultural events. Meanwhile, an investigation was launched into the Baku office of Sputnik-Azerbaijan over alleged illegal financing, leading to further detentions.
