An explosion near a police station on the Spanish island of Mallorca killed two officers Thursday _ a day after a car-bomb attack blamed on Basque separatists left scores injured in northern Spain.
A Civil Guard spokesman in Madrid said it was still too early to say what caused Thursday's blast in the Palmanova beach resort area, southwest of the resort island's capital of Palma de Mallorca.
Two officers were killed, the spokesman said, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with police department regulations. He gave no further details.
Europa Press private news agency and other media outlets said the blast was caused by a bomb and that there were also several people injured.
A car bomb attack on Wednesday left some 60 people injured at a police barracks in the northern city of Burgos. That attack has been blamed on the armed Basque separatist group ETA, along with seven other attacks this year.
ETA has killed more than 825 people since it launched a campaign in 1968 for an independent homeland in Basque region of northern Spain.
