At least 13 people have lost their lives and several others were injured in a fire that broke out in a nightclub in South East Spain early on Sunday. The cause of the fire is yet to be established.
The death toll is expected to rise as rescuers comb through the rubble. Murcia’s mayor also told reporters that there are still bodies to be recovered. “Given the risk of collapse, the task is complicated,” said Ballesta. The emergency services hinted at the same in a post on X, formally Twitter, saying that firefighters were still working in the area and had not ruled out the chance of finding more victims.
