A bomb exploded at a real estate agency and another device was defused at a European sports rehabilitation center in southwestern France on Thursday, local sources said.

The explosion occurred before dawn in a real estate agency's office in Anglet of France's Basque region, the local police said. No one was injured. A phrase "Basque is not for sale" was spray painted across the building.

In Carbreton, 20 kilometers from Anglet, another explosive device made of a water bottle of flammable liquid with a detonator was discovered around midday Thursday.

No one had claimed responsibility. An investigation was launched, but it remained unclear whether the incidents involved "terrorism" or not, according to the sources.
