Baku-APA. A matador has died after being gored by a bull in Spain - the first bullfighter to die in the ring in Spain this century, APA reports quoting Reuters.
Victor Barrio, 29, a professional bullfighter, was killed when the bull's horn pierced his chest.
The fight, in the eastern town of Teruel, was being broadcast live on TV.
Also on Saturday, a 28-year-old man died after being gored by a bull during a bull run through the village of Pedreguer, near Valencia.
The last matador to die in a bullfight in Spain was Jose Cubero, or Yiyo, in 1985.
Television footage shows the bull throwing Barrio into the air before goring him on the right-hand side of his chest and violently throwing him.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy paid his condolences to Barrio on his Twitter feed.
A comment on the official feed of the Las Ventas bull ring in Madrid, where Barrio began as an apprentice, said it was "distressed and very moved" by his death.
El Pais newspaper said that in the past century, 134 people, including 33 matadors, had been killed by bulls in Spain.
