A bomb squad was deployed to a neighbourhood in the Spanish city of Vigo after an abandoned suitcase raised concerns, prompting a significant emergency services response.
Incident in O Calvario
A stretch of the O Calvario pedestrian area in Vigo, on the northwestern coast, was cordoned off this evening as the item was investigated. Residents in the area were not allowed to look out their windows or balconies during the operation.
