A fire in a high-rise apartment block in Valencia, Spain has resulted in four deaths and up to 15 people missing. The cause of the fire is unknown, but experts suggest that cladding on the building's exterior may have enabled the rapid spread of the blaze. Firefighters have been unable to access the upper floors due to high temperatures, and drones are aiding in the search for missing residents. The building, constructed in 2008-09, had 138 apartments, and the developer filed for bankruptcy five years later.
