    Police cordon off the area where a man and a woman died in a suspected bomb blast related to gender violence, according to the Basque regional security department, in Orio, northern Spain, May 16, 2023 (Reuters)

A man and woman were killed in an explosion in the town of Orio in northern Spain, the Basque regional security department confirmed on Tuesday.

A department spokesperson indicated that the blast took place around 5.30 pm (15:30 GMT) in the fishing town of around 6,000 people near the border with France, adding that there was no indication at the time that any other people had been hurt.

Reuters cited a witness as saying that police had cordoned off an area around a sidewalk bench where the explosion occurred, next to a children's playground.

Several Spanish TV channels broadcast an image that they said was from the scene that showed two dead bodies - one sitting on a bench and one lying on the pavement - in a pool of blood.

News agency EFE cited police sources as saying that the preliminary investigation pointed toward a package held by one of the victims being the source of the explosion.
