Storm Leonardo has led to large-scale evacuations across parts of Spain and Portugal, with more than 11,000 residents ordered or advised to leave their homes as severe conditions affected the Iberian Peninsula.
Officials in Portugal reported a fatal incident involving a man aged about 70. According to available details, the man died after his car was swept away during the storm.
In Spain, police said on Friday that a second body had been found in Malaga. No further identification details were provided in the information available, and the circumstances around the discovery were not specified.
The evacuations reflect the scale of disruption caused by the storm, with residents moved out of affected areas as authorities responded to dangerous weather-related risks.
Storm Leonardo comes amid heightened emergency activity in both countries, as responders deal with the impacts of severe weather and the safety challenges it brings, including flooding and fast-moving water that can overwhelm vehicles.
Authorities have not released additional figures on injuries, damage to property, or the duration of evacuation measures in the information available. Further official updates are expected as assessments continue in the storm-hit regions.
