Spanish nightclub fire kills at least 13 as rescuers search for 14 missing

Deadly blaze broke out at 6am on Sunday in a club area of the Atalayas leisure complex in Murcia

At least 13 people have been killed when fire ripped through a nightclub in Spain where a birthday celebration was taking place.

The blaze broke out in the popular Fonda Milagros nightclub at 6am on Sunday and quickly tore through the venue in Murcia, south-east Spain, before spreading to two adjoining venues.

The cause of the fire, which broke out when the club was still busy, was being investigated. Officials warned that the death toll could rise, with rescuers still searching for 14 people who remained unaccounted for.

Diego Seral, of Spain’s National Police, told reporters the dead were found in the Fonda Milagros nightclub, which sustained the majority of fire damage and had a collapsed roof.
