One woman was gored in the face and thrown in the air by one of the wild beasts, in this gory version of Pamplona’s famous Running of the Bulls festival. Two men died as a result of the bull attacks, including 29-year-old Juan Manuel Filomeno Herrera. Luis Xolocotzi Ramirez, 57, was one of the near dozen injured when he suffered a skull fracture and severe chest injury from a horn attack. He was taken to a specialist hospital by air ambulance. The 2026 Huamantlada saw its first fatalities in eight years. It is widely considered one of the largest bull-running and bullfighting festivals in the world. Comment now
