In pictures: Pamplona bull run
Nine people have been injured during the first bull run of Pamplona's famed San Fermin festival.
Veterans of the nine-day festival said crowds lining the route were larger than usual, and this had compounded the risk of injuries.
Hundreds of people dressed in white with red scarves took part, running ahead of or alongside six fighting bulls
Six people were injured when they were gored by bulls, three others received minor injuries
Streets made wet by recent rain saw many people slip; some were trampled by the bulls
Local officials described it as the most dangerous bull run of recent years
Among those injured was an American woman identified as Jennifer Smith, 27, of New Jersey
She was rushed to hospital in a serious condition
