Explosives found in Balearic waters

The devices are usually mortar shells or aviation bombs and are often spotted by swimmers or people practicing water sports.

When the Guardia Civil is notified about a device, the GEAS tracks its exact location.

Last week a mortar grenade was discovered 3-metres below the surface in the sa Mola area of Minorca.

Warning

Anyone who spots one of these devices is advised not to touch it and to call 062 immediately.
