Spain's King Felipe VI, Queen Letizia and their two daughters observed a minute of silence Friday for the victims of a wildfire in the south of the country that claimed at least 11 lives. "From this place, located some 150 kilometres (90 miles) from where this tragedy occurred, we want to convey our condolences, our affection and our support to all those who have lost loved ones," the king said at a ceremony at the San Javier air base in Murcia.
