A fire in an electrical panel connected to the rooftop solar panel installation forced the evacuation of the school and the mobilization of emergency services. Students who were in the cafeteria at the time alerted authorities to the black smoke billowing from the roof. At least, nothing had been noticed from the classrooms or the courtyard, neither by smell nor temperature. The fire was strictly technical in origin and did not affect other areas or pose any structural risk to the building. The incident was quickly and effectively contained by the Mallorca Fire Department, who disconnected the photovoltaic system to ensure the school's safety. All students were evacuated to the courtyard, unable to retrieve their belongings, and classes were suspended. The evacuation was carried out according to the self-protection protocol and the fire safety protocol, which was last tested just a month ago. Students, teachers, and non-teaching staff followed the instructions responsibly and cooperatively. No injuries were reported, and the entire school community is safe. The school administration has sent a message of gratitude to the students, teachers, and non-teaching staff for their calm and cooperation, as well as to the emergency services for their swift and professional response. </p>]]></description>

They allegedly extorted a couple with whom they shared an apartment in Palma, demanding more rent or forcing them to leave the property. To threaten the couple, they used a katana, a saber, and an antique pistol. The incident began last Friday when a call was received on 091 (the Spanish emergency number). A couple reported that when they went to enter their shared apartment, they noticed the locks had been changed while they were away. In a statement, the police force indicated that several patrol cars were dispatched to the location and spoke with the couple, who explained what had happened. According to their account, the previous day they had argued with two men with whom they shared the apartment, and these men threatened them, demanding they leave the room or pay more. </p>]]></description>

The armed force has launched an investigation and is awaiting the autopsy results to proceed further in the case. Currently, foul play is ruled out, as no signs of violence were found on the woman's body or on the yacht. This was explained by the Civil Guard after the analysis carried out by the coroner and the force's forensics unit. According to their findings, the deceased woman was part of the yacht's crew, and a colleague raised the alarm around 9:00 p.m. on Sunday. However, the medical services dispatched to the scene could only confirm her death. </p>]]></description>

Initial hypotheses, pending the autopsy results and according to sources close to the investigation who spoke to Europa Press, suggest that both the man and woman had ingested pills. The woman is believed to have died around midday, while the man died a few hours earlier. The same sources explained that the bodies of the man and woman were found in their respective bedrooms. The Civil Guard is investigating the discovery of the bodies of an 80-year-old woman and her 54-year-old son in a home in Portocolom, in the municipality of Felanitx, on Thursday. Early in the afternoon, a family member reported finding the bodies in a house on Grívia Street. The Civil Guard went to the scene and is investigating the incident. No signs of violence were found, and initial investigations point to suicide. In Spain, there are resources available to help those experiencing suicidal thoughts, such as the Suicide Prevention Helpline (717003717, in the Balearic Islands 971461112), the Ministry of Health's suicide prevention hotline (024), and 112, which has mental health professionals. The Suicide Prevention Helpline in the Balearic Islands is 971461112. </p>]]></description>

The fire broke out at 12:50 p.m. and was classified as having a severity index of 0, as the agricultural burn ended up affecting forest land, according to the Mallorca Fire Department, the Balearic Institute of Nature (Ibanat), and the Regional Ministry of the Presidency. The burning had been previously reported to the Government, and firefighters from the Mallorca fire stations in Sóller and Inca, as well as personnel from Ibanat, who took charge of extinguishing the blaze, were deployed to the scene. </p>]]></description>

Twenty meters from his house, below the cliff, a 20-ton rock broke loose two weeks ago, burying the Serra family home. It crashed through the two upper floors and literally buried the 66-year-old man, who was sleeping in the bedroom below. His 62-year-old wife escaped with her life by mere centimeters. Authorities immediately evacuated the families living in the eight surrounding buildings as a precaution; new construction would now be prohibited. Two weeks later, none of them, not even Ramon, have been able to return home.</p>]]></description>

This was confirmed by sources at Son Espases Hospital, where she was initially taken. Her 62-year-old husband, who also suffered smoke inhalation injuries, is in stable condition and under observation in the emergency room at Son Llàtzer Hospital. It should be noted that three people (a married couple, the husband 62 and the wife 61, and the woman's sister) were injured on Tuesday. According to information provided by SAMU 061 (the emergency medical service) and the Mallorca Fire Department, the fire, the cause of which is still unknown, broke out shortly after midnight in a house on Pare Bartomeu Pou Street. Neighbors alerted authorities after seeing fire and smoke coming from the house and reporting that there were two people inside. Police, firefighters, and paramedics were quickly mobilized. The couple was taken to Son Llàtzer and Son Espases hospitals, while their sister was treated at the scene and did not require hospitalization. According to a later statement from the Civil Guard, at approximately 12:20 a.m. on Tuesday, a patrol received a fire report and upon arrival found a man calling for help from a second-floor window, saying his wife was inside. Upon attempting to enter the apartment, the officers encountered a large accumulation of dense smoke that severely hampered visibility and breathing. After an initial attempt to control the fire with an official fire extinguisher proved insufficient, they managed to create an alternative entrance by breaking down one of the front doors.</p>]]></description>
