The Granada hamlet of El Pozuelo experienced a very serious incident this Sunday that disrupted the usual tranquility of summer. The church of Santiago Apóstol, built in 1993–1994 and the center of local religious life, was the target of an attack that resulted in an intentional fire.
According to official sources, at around 2:00 p.m. a 21-year-old man of Moroccan origin forced entry into the church after breaking a stained glass window with a hammer. Once inside, he caused damage to the interior and subsequently started a fire with a lighter. The act prompted the immediate intervention of emergency services, including Motril Firefighters, the Civil Guard, and the Local Police.
