Valencia is grappling with severe flooding as torrential rains, brought by a DANA weather system, have led to widespread chaos.

The region has been placed under a red alert, with over 200 liters of rain per square meter recorded in some areas.

The overflowing Magro River in Utiel has prompted the deployment of the Military Emergency Unit (UME) to assist in rescue operations.

Roads, including the A-3, have been closed, and a search is underway for a missing truck driver in L'Alcúdia.

The situation has also affected other parts of Spain, including Málaga, where an AVE train derailed due to the weather.

Authorities urge residents to stay informed and avoid unnecessary travel as the region braces for more storms.
