On Aug 17th 2023 Spain's CIAIAC reported the captain observed a bird strike, then his airspeed indication dropped by 30 KIAS suddenly. Considering the airspeed unreliable the captain rejected takeoff. The aircraft came to a stop about 600 meters/2000 feet short of the runway end, 3 of the 4 main tyres deflated due to hot brakes. As the aircraft was immobilized, the commander decided to perform an emergency evacuation.
