Overview
- Police were called to a reported shooting that wounded a 17-year-old and, after arriving, found a suspicious backpack at the building entrance that contained an explosive device.
- Officers from the National Police canine unit and the TEDAX bomb‑disposal team examined and moved the bag before it detonated, killing sub‑inspector Juan José and the police dog Deny.
- A TEDAX officer was critically injured in the blast and was taken to Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias with severe leg wounds that required surgery.
- Authorities launched a large operation with roadblocks and checkpoints to find a suspect, and media reports differ on whether the main suspect remains at large or has been detained.
- Investigators have cordoned off the scene, evacuated residents, and said there is currently no indication the explosion was terrorism; police enquiries continue to establish motive and links to the earlier shooting.
