The two explosions have been heard aloud in the people. The second has been clearer than the first, as it has taken place at 22:50 hours in the evening. The Ertzaintza has reported that the warning was received at around 20:00 a.m. today. A group of Aranzadi volunteers working in the Karabieta area has warned of the discovery of two shells from the 36 war.

So far, specialist agents have been displaced in the deactivation of shells and, after reviewing the site and the shells, they have decided to carry out controlled explosions. "One of the shells was near the road between Elgeta and Eibar and the circulation has been cut off to carry out the explosions," they explained from the press office. "The road has been cut into traffic between 21:45 and 22:50 hours," he said.

Two artillery shells

These are two artillery shells that have exploded today in the Gipuzkoan village of Elgeta under control. One of 155 millimeters and one of 100 millimeters of Italian cousins. Jon Etxezarraga works a lot with the metal detector in the place of similar parts by analyzing war sites. "Three or four weeks ago another appeared in that area, right behind the bus station. It's a 15.5-millimeter tall couscous. They also detonated it," he said.

Etxezarraga thinks they're also going to show up. "A lot of pinaars are coming off, and the detectors are coming up with the howitzers that have remained in the subsoil. It's very difficult to explode alone. Most of the time they are deep and when they appear we pass the warning. And I think in Elgeta they're going to show up more."
