Three people were slightly injured as a bomb exploded in Spain's northern port city of Zarautz early Sunday, the Interior Ministry said.
The bomb went off outside the construction company Construcciones Amenabar in Zarautz, a port city 55 km from the French border in the Basque Country at around 2:30 a.m. local time(0030 GMT), the ministry said.
Three people, including a civilian and two policemen, suffered minor injuries in the blast, it added.
No individuals or groups have claimed responsibility for the explosion, the ministry said. But it added a road assistance service had got an anonymous call saying a bomb would explode in the area at that time about an hour earlier.
The Basque separatist organization ETA usually informed by phone before taking actions like bomb attacks. If ETA were behind the Sunday blast, it would be the second time Construcciones Amenabar was targeted by the group.
On May 12, ETA claimed responsibility for two small bomb explosions targeting a regional train network under construction in the Basque city of Hernani. The bombs were hidden on bulldozers belonging to Amenabar.
