BARCELONA: Several people were hurt when a driver lost control and plowed into a crowd gathered outside a soccer match between RCD Espanyol and city rivals FC Barcelona, police said on Thursday.

The incident occurred in the opening minutes of Barcelona’s game at crosstown rival Espanyol with the visitors eyeing La Liga title.
Salvador Illa, the regional president for Spain’s Catalonia region, said that all the injuries were “minor” and also ruled out any deliberate attack.
Police said up to 13 people were hurt when the vehicle rammed into the crowd outside RCDE Stadium in southern Barcelona.
The police added in a message on X that the incident presented no danger to the people inside the stadium.

The driver has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and causing injury.
Barcelona clinched the Spanish league title with a victory.

PHNOM PENH: More than half a million people in Cambodia have been displaced from their homes by two weeks of deadly border clashes with neighboring Thailand, Phnom Penh’s interior ministry said Sunday.
“At present, more than half a million Cambodian people, including women and children, are suffering severe hardship due to forced displacement from their homes and schools to escape artillery shells, rockets, and aerial bombardments carried out by Thailand’s F-16 aircraft,” the interior ministry said in a statement, giving the total number of people evacuated as 518,611.
Around 400,000 people have been displaced in Thailand due to the reignited border conflict, Bangkok has said.
