RUNNER GORED IN FACE AS 13 INJURED AT PAMPLONA BULL RUN

One runner was gored in the face and 12 others were injured during the San Fermin bull run festival in Pamplona on Saturday. Six bulls and accompanying steers charged through crowds of thrill-seekers who had gathered on the narrow street course. The incident occurred as participants attempted to run ahead of the animals through the designated route.

The San Fermin festival is a long-established event in which runners intentionally enter a course with bulls. Participants pack into the narrow streets of Pamplona to take part in the traditional spectacle. The bull run has been held annually as part of the wider festival celebrations.

The gored runner was treated for injuries sustained during the event. According to reports, several other participants were fortunate to avoid more serious injury during the chaotic run. The festival continues as planned following the incident on Saturday.
