The bomb exploded at Restaurante La Rigoletta in Palma de Mallorca after the restauant was evacuated following a telefone call made in name of Basque separatist group ETA, the website of Spanish Newspaper El Mundo reported.

There have been no reports of injuries yet, El Mundo cited the Mallorcan ambulance service as saying.

The blast came hours after ETA claimed responsibility for a series of attacks in June and July, including ones that killed two Civil Guard agents and a police officer.

The separatists are held responsible for more than 800 deaths in the past 40 years in their campaign to carve out an independent Basque homeland in Northern Spain and Southern France.
