An explosion near a police barracks in the Spanish city of Palma Nova on the resort island of Majorca has left at least two dead and several others injured, El Pais reported on Thursday.

MOSCOW, July 30 (RIA Novosti) - An explosion near a police barracks in the Spanish city of Palma Nova on the resort island of Majorca has left at least two dead and several others injured, El Pais reported on Thursday.

The attack happened at 2:00 p.m. (13:00 GMT).

The militant Basque separatist organization ETA is believed to be behind the bombing.

Sixty-five people, including two pregnant women and six children, were injured when a truck exploded in the north Spanish city of Burgos early on Wednesday. ETA has also been blamed for this attack.

ETA, founded in 1959, is recognized as a terrorist organization by the European Union and the United States. The group is known to have killed over 820 people in the past 40 years while fighting for an independent Basque state.
