Blast shakes San Sebastian
Breaking News
One person is feared dead after a suspected bomb explosion in the northern Spanish resort city of San Sebastian.

The blast occurred in the city centre shortly before 1100 local time (1000 GMT). Emergency vehicles are at the scene.

Spanish radio said an elderly woman had been killed and her grandchild seriously injured. Details are still coming in.

The explosion is the latest in a series of blasts in the Basque region of Spain, and follows threats by the Basque separatist group ETA to target popular holiday destinations.
