Police are searching for a suspect after the blast in Oviedo seriously injured a bomb-disposal officer. Officers had responded to a neighbor dispute in which a woman was shot.
A backpack explosion killed a canine-unit police officer and seriously injured a bomb-disposal officer in Oviedo, northern Spain, on 10 November, police said. The injured officer was taken to a hospital.
The blast followed a reported argument between neighbors and a shooting. Police spokesman Pedro Aguado said officers who responded found a woman with gunshot wounds; she was also taken to a hospital.
While searching for the suspected attacker, officers found a suspicious backpack with a flashing light and called the bomb-disposal and canine units, the BBC said. Aguado said the backpack exploded as it was being moved outside to protect residents.
Spanish police identified the dead officer as Juan José in a tribute posted on X. What prompted the attack remains unclear. Police said the suspect had fled, and a widespread operation and search continued near the scene.
