Twin gun battles underscore the growing militarization of Spain's drug trade, police say.

Overview

  • Local reports identify the Toledo group as of Dominican origin, with the wounded evacuated to hospitals in Toledo and Talavera de la Reina.
  • In Isla Mayor (Seville), a Greco Tartesos officer was shot twice during a raid on a drug storage site and remains in grave but stable condition after emergency surgery.
