A powerful earthquake struck the southern districts of Madrid just 30 minutes ago, sending shockwaves across the capital and leaving thousands in distress. The unexpected seismic event measured 6.7 on the Richter scale, according to early reports from the Spanish National Geological Institute, and was felt throughout the city, causing panic, infrastructure damage, and widespread disruption.
Emergency services are currently responding to numerous calls as buildings in Carabanchel, Usera, and Villaverde reported structural collapses and road damages. The metro system in affected areas has been shut down, and schools and businesses are being evacuated. So far, dozens have been reported injured, and authorities fear the numbers may rise.
Luka Modrić’s Incredible Response: €100 Million Donated
In an unbelievable act of generosity, Real Madrid legend Luka Modrić has donated €100 million to support rescue and recovery operations.

His donation has sparked a wave of support, with fans and fellow players praising him for stepping up in such a critical time.
