Spain pub explosion leaves at least 12 injured in tourist hotspot
At least 12 people are injured after an explosion tore through a pub in southeastern Spain today. Emergency services were called to the Casa Javi bar in Lo Pagan, a coastal town in San Pedro del Pinatar, shortly before 12.30pm local time. It is located at the northern tip of the Murcia region's Mediterranean coastline. Despite being less tourist-heavy than major Spanish resorts, the region has seen a surge in visitors - with more than 320,000 foreign tourists arriving between January and April this year, nearly 20% more than in the same period last year, according to Euro Weekly News. More than 25 calls were made by members of the public reporting the blast. According to regional news outlet La7, police, firefighters and ambulances rushed to the scene within minutes. Images from the site show the bar's awning ripped apart, with doors and debris scattered across a busy market street in the centre of Lo Pagan. Several surrounding stalls and businesses also suffered damage in what officials have described as a "powerful explosion". According to Euro Weekly News, the blast was caused by a gas explosion and investigations are ongoing. The bar was closed at the time, however the town's weekly street market was taking place just outside the premises - leading to multiple injuries among bystanders and marketgoers. Of the 12 people injured, three sustained serious injuries. One person was transferred to the intensive care unit at the Virgen de la Arrixaca Hospital in Murcia, while another was admitted to the hospital's burns unit. A third seriously injured person was taken to Los Arcos del Mar Menor Hospital in nearby San Javier. Three others with less serious injuries were treated between Los Arcos and Santa Lucia Hospital in Cartagena. Seven people suffered minor injuries and were attended to at a local health center. No fatalities have been reported. Emergency crews remain on site investigating the full extent of the damage.

On Monday, in a separate incident, we reported residents of a quaint Scots village were left fearing a 'big explosion' had taken place after a three earthquakes hit. Villagers in the small historic conservation village of Comrie, Perthshire, said the tremor left houses vibrating after what 'felt like a quarry blast'. The earthquake occurred shortly before 4am on Friday, June 13, and was recorded by the British Geological Survey (BGS) Seismology Team – the UK's national earthquake monitoring agency. The shake measured in a 1.0 on the Richter scale – a minor tremble – but nearby villagers reported feeling it. The tremor was measured at a depth of around 2km and occurred just north of the A85, just a short distance east of Loch Earn, beneath the Sgorr Racaineach hillside. The BGS said the earthquake was felt by several people in Comrie. Reports described it 'felt like a quarry blast', 'felt and sounded like a big explosion', which meant the 'whole house vibrated slightly' and 'like an explosion followed by a slight rumble'. The was followed up by two more aftershocks in the early hours of Monday, June 16. A tremor at 2.18am, a short distance from Friday's initial shake, was also felt in Comrie, with resident describing a "loud booming with low rumble and shaking", adding it "sounded like thunder". That measured in at 1.4 magnitude. The third earthquake occurred a short time later, at 2.51am on Monday. There was no report this one, which measured 0.9, was felt by nearby households.
