Spain curfew sparks unrest in several cities

Protests broke out in Spain late Saturday after the government announced new restrictions to curb the coronavirus outbreak.

Footage posted on Twitter showed protesters running and overturning trash bins to block the Gran Via in Madrid.

Similar scenes were seen in Málaga, where protesters threw smoke bombs at riot police.

Nearly all Spaniards are facing a weekend with restrictions on leaving the regions where they live as authorities try to contain a sharp resurgence of reported coronavirus cases.

But the government has refrained from imposing another full lockdown.

Spain has recorded more than one million coronavirus cases.
