Four people have died and 27 have been injured after a two-storey building collapsed at a tourist resort on the Spanish island of Palma de Mallorca.
Some people are trapped in one of the most famous clubs on the coast c, a beachside restaurant on Cartago street in the regional capital Palma de Majorca.
The incident is said to have happened around 20:30 local time on Thursday evening. There are fears that a number of people could be trapped under the rubble.
Emergency services told local media they were finalizing rescue operations and securing the area shortly after midnight local time. Officials added that psychological experts will be brought to the scene to help those traumatized by the incident.
The floor of the bar collapsed on Thursday night, sending people falling into the basement below, where there were customers and staff.
A firefighter described the scene as a "nightmare" to local newspaper Ultima Hora. He added that when his team arrived people were crying and screaming as they stood around the rubble piled on the floor.
Palma fire chief Eder García told local media that most of those affected by the collapse were foreigners and tourists, El Pais reported.
A local police spokesman told reporters that the balcony may have collapsed due to excessive weight placed on it, but stressed that the cause was still being investigated.
One man was pulled from the rubble with a broken arm and rescue services are working on the assumption that more people are trapped.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has sent condolences to the families of the victims.
He said he was closely following all the latest developments and his government was ready to send all the necessary assistance.
