Four people have died and 21 are injured after a two-storey building collapsed in Majorca, emergency services say.
Several people are believed to be trapped at the site of the Medusa Beach Club, a beachside restaurant on Cartago Street in Palma de Majorca.
The incident reportedly happened at about 20:30 local time (19:30 BST).
Local emergency services said psychologists have also been called to the scene.
Eyewitness told local media that many of those inside the building at the time of the collapse were tourists. May is the beginning of the busy tourist season in the area.
The mayor of Palma, Jaime Martínez, is said to have travelled to the scene with the Deputy Mayor of Tourism.

The president of the Balearic Islands, Marga Prohens, said she was shocked by the incident and sent her condolences to the victims’ families.
Ms Prohens also thanked the emergency services and Pedro Sánchez, Spain’s Prime Minister, for his support.
The prime minister said he is closely following the incident and said his government is willing to collaborate with “all the means and personnel” needed, in a statement on X.
Majorca is one of Spain’s Balearic Islands, which more than 14 million tourists visited last year according to official figures.
