The Police detonates a suspicious suitcase in Plaza de España and secures the Civil Guard Headquarters in Madrid after two calls alerting to bomb threats

The National Police detonated a suspicious abandoned trolley bag in Madrid's Plaza de España after receiving alerts from citizens. The incident occurred around 8:30 AM, prompting a security protocol that involved evacuating the area and inspecting the bag. A controlled explosion confirmed there was no danger. This event followed multiple bomb threats in the region the previous night, including one near the General Directorate of the Civil Guard, which led to evacuations and extensive security measures. In Guadarrama, another suspicious backpack was found near a supermarket, leading to an evacuation and a controlled explosion, which also revealed no explosives. A second suspicious object was later found but deemed safe.
