Emergency services said on social media platforms that seven people were seriously injured and nine were seriously injured. They were taken to different hospitals in Palma. Emergency crews are finalizing search and rescue operations, a local police spokesman told radio station RNE at midnight local time. That's why we are asking you to be quiet now, silence is necessary to see if anyone is listening, he said, adding that he cannot rule out that someone else is involved. He said that the midge fell down, possibly due to excess weight, and the reasons are still being investigated.

It is said that the first phone calls were received around 8 pm. The emergency services said that firemen and police forces have reached the spot and some psychologists have been called. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez X said he was closely monitoring the consequences of the collapse on Palma Beach. Sanchez said that he has spoken with local and regional authorities and the government is ready to help with all necessary means and troops.

He expressed his deepest condolences to the families of the deceased and wished the injured a speedy recovery. Spanish state owned broadcaster TVE showed firefighters working to clear areas of the Medusa Beach Club in Palma at around 11.30 pm local time, with ambulances at the scene.
