Two more people were on Sunday gored, the fourth day of the San Fermin festival in northern Spain where bulls chase red-scarved runners through the streets of Pamplona.

The two men were gored in the neck and chest respectively, while three others suffered trauma-related injuries, the festival’s organisers said on their twitter account.

Authorities confirmed on Sunday that a 65-year-old man had died in a bull-run the previous night in the small town of Fuentesauco close to the university city of Salamanca.

On the same day, a bullfighter and another man participating in a village event were killed in two of the many summer festivals in Spain.

The man was pronounced dead in hospital after the bull’s horn pierced his chest three times when it caught him in a blind alley.

San Fermin is the most popular of the festivals, attracting thousands of revelers who visit from around the world to witness the bull-runs observed over eight days along an 825 meter route through Pamplona’s old town.
