During the 1936-1937 war, 127 localities from Bizkaia, Gipyekoa and Álava, 1 from Cantabria and 4 from Navarra were bombed. These are those that can be considered as part of the war operations in the Basque Country: In Navarre there was no direct military action, but there was basal fascist repression, and that only bombardment (and almost as in Cantabria) occurred in the context of nearby events.
A bombing operation is the set of air attacks carried out by one or more air units to a single end on a day of war. That means that you can do one or more bombings in a bombing operation. Thus, during that period, 2,042 bombings were recorded, 1,870 of which were perpetrated by the insurgents and 172 by the Republicans.
The territorial classification would be as follows:
- Álava: 171 bombing operations; 129 carried out by insurgents and 42 by Republicans.
- Biscay: 811 bombing operations, 771 by insurgents and 40 by Republicans.
- Gipuzkoa: 238 bombing operations, 167 carried out by the rebels and 71 carried out by Republicans.
