MADRID, Spain (AP): A small bomb exploded on a southern Spanish beach early Tuesday in the resort town of Torremolinos, but officials said there were no injuries.

The low-power device went off shortly after midnight close to the Hotel Sol Aloha while hundreds of people were walking along the seafront, the Interior Ministry said.

There was no warning given before the blast and no group has claimed responsibility.

``It's a clear attempt at causing alarm and trying to disrupt the tourist interests of Andalucia,'' mayor Pedro Fernandez Montes said.
