Warning about strong waves in the Canary Islands
Rescuers warn that the number of victims may increase, but there are currently no reports of missing persons or other bodies found. It is worth noting that this tragedy occurred despite local authorities' calls for caution on the coast.
A warning has been issued for dangerous waves in the Canary Islands, with heights in some areas reaching up to 5 meters. This is not the first incident in Tenerife of this kind, and this event serves as another reminder of the dangers at sea.
