The fire began on the fourth floor of the building in an affluent neighbourhood of Spain's third-largest city, Valencia, before spreading to other apartments, emergency services said on X, formerly Twitter.
Valencia's mayor Maria Jose Catala said there are "between nine and 15 people in the apartment building fire that we've been unable to locate". Firefighters stood on a crane as they searched for survivors in the still-smoking building while a drone was seen surveying the building from its exterior.
