POLICE Scotland has issued a statement after two Scottish men were killed in a shooting in Spain.
A gunman fired several shots at Monaghan's Bar in Fuengirola, southern Spain, on Saturday evening, killing Eddie Lyons Junior and Ross Monaghan.
Spanish detectives previously said that investigations into the double murder, which took place at around 11.30pm on the day, were ongoing.
Now, Police Scotland has confirmed it is supporting Spanish police "where requested".
However, the force stated it has not deployed any officers within Spain.
Officers say that there is currently no intelligence to suggest that the deaths are linked to the recent targeted attacks in the East and West of Scotland being investigated under Operation Portaledge.
They added that there is also nothing to suggest that the shooting in Fuengirola was planned from within Scotland.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "The investigation into the fatal shootings in Fuengirola is being carried out by Spanish police.
"Police Scotland is supporting Spanish police where requested, however, at this time, we have no officers deployed within Spain.
"There is currently no intelligence to suggest the deaths of these two men in Spain are linked to the recent criminal attacks in Scotland being investigated as part of Operation Portaledge.
"Any misinformation or speculation linking the events in Spain is not helpful to the ongoing investigations in either country.
"There is also nothing to suggest that the shooting in Fuengirola was planned from within Scotland."
