Spanish officials have reported that several individuals are missing following flash floods that have impacted southeastern regions, particularly Valencia and Albacete.

Rescue workers discovered several bodies in the eastern region of Valencia, Spain, which has been severely affected by flooding, according to Carlos Mazon, the head of the regional government, on Wednesday.

"Dead bodies have been found, but out of respect for the families, we will not provide any further information," Mazon stated.

On Tuesday, officials reported that at least seven individuals were missing, including a truck driver in Valencia and six others in the town of Letur, located in the eastern province of Albacete.

Torrential rains have inundated various areas of southeastern Spain, resulting in flash floods that swept through roads and towns on Tuesday.

Authorities urged residents to remain indoors and issued red alerts for the eastern Valencia region. Some areas, including Turis and Utiel, experienced rainfall amounts reaching 200 mm (7.9 inches).

Numerous videos shared on social media captured scenes of individuals stranded in floodwaters, with many desperately clinging to trees to avoid being swept away.

The flash floods caused cars to be swept off roads, disrupted rail services across large parts of eastern Spain, and led to interruptions in flight operations.

In a notable incident, a high-speed train carrying nearly 300 passengers derailed near Malaga; however, rail authorities confirmed that no passengers were injured.

Spain's national rail operator announced the suspension of all rail services in the Valencia region "until the situation returns to normal for the safety of passengers."

As a precautionary measure, schools and sporting events were canceled on Wednesday, and parks remained closed.

In response to the emergency, police and rescue workers conducted airlifts for individuals at risk of drowning. Authorities also deployed an emergency rescue brigade from Spain's army to assist in the ongoing rescue efforts.
