Spain and France closed beaches because of killer jellyfish infesting shores. Spanish coastal patrol warns of rare nature events, especially the notorious physalies.

Most physalies appear along northern Spain, particularly near the Basque shoreline communities.

Officials temporarily shut some beaches, banning swimming to protect public safety. Saint-Sébastien beaches report one day nearly one hundred twenty jellyfish stings.

Two individuals hospitalized with severe injuries, caused by the venomous jellyfish stings. Atlantic France also affected, especially Brittany, with experts cautioning against any contact.
