Madrid: Three explosions, two attributed to ETA, shook the Basque country in the north of Spain early today, causing no casualties but material damage, the Basque autonomous police told AFP.
The first "powerful" blast came around midnight (local time) in the Vizcaya town of Arrigoriaga "in a building belonging to the Spanish labour ministry," the police said, adding they were investigating the origin of the explosion, which caused damage but claimed no victims.
Two other bombs went off shortly afterwards near a Basque governmental institute in San Sebastian causing "slight damage" after a phone call from armed Basque separatist group ETA to regional traffic department DYA warning of imminent blasts, the police added.
