A building in north Devon has been sealed off after a home-made explosive went off, injuring a man.
The Royal Navy's bomb disposal team also carried out a controlled explosion on a second device found at the flat in Barnstaple on Sunday afternoon.
Police said a 47-year-old man was being treated for hand injuries, apparently caused by the first explosive.
Neighbouring flats at the property in St George's Road were evacuated. Police have ruled out any terrorist links.
The man was taken to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital for treatment. His condition is described as stable.
Residents were moved from the house and the area was cordoned off as a safety measure whilst bomb disposal officers and police forensic teams carried out further searches.
