A man has been gored to death during the running of the bulls in Pamplona, the first such fatality since 1995.

The victim, a 27-year-old Spaniard, was gored in the neck after one of the bulls, a Jandilla fighting bull named 'Capuccino', separated from the pack and veered into a group of runners, a Navarre regional government official told reporters.
