The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, has stated from Johannesburg, where he has attended the G-20 this weekend that "Spain has had the same position in each of the conflicts: opening spaces for dialogue, respecting international law."

At least 83 people have lost their lives during these military actions, which have involved missiles, as reported by Daniel Lozano.
