On July 11, 2025, tensions escalated in Murcia, Spain, following reports of clashes involving local residents and migrant groups. The incidents began after a series of reported altercations, including an alleged attack by North African individuals on locals in Torre-Pacheco, resulting in five injuries and one arrest, as noted on July 14, 2025. Earlier, on July 4, 2025, a separate incident in Alhama de Murcia involved a reported sexual assault on a 12-year-old girl by an immigrant, leading to a community protest with dozens of participants. Police confirmed the involvement of undocumented immigrants in multiple cases, including a July 8, 2025, protest in Murcia against African parking attendants, where residents cited threats, theft, and assaults. The unrest saw groups arming themselves with sticks, stones, and knives, prompting a significant police presence. Community responses included organized gatherings, with one scheduled for July 8 at 8:00 PM near the Malecón, drawing attention to security concerns. Local authorities have not released official casualty figures beyond the initial five injuries, but the events have led to increased patrols and calls for enhanced safety measures. The situation remains under investigation, with no final resolution reported as of July 16, 2025.
