A police officer has lost his life and another has been severely injured after a backpack, which was being examined by Spain's canine unit and explosives disposal unit, detonated in the northern Spanish city of Oviedo. The incident occurred on Tuesday morning following reports of a dispute between neighbors that resulted in a woman being shot. The suspect is still at large, according to authorities. Upon arrival at the scene, officers discovered the wounded woman and subsequently found the suspicious backpack. As they were moving the package outside for safety reasons, it exploded, killing a member of the canine unit and injuring an officer from the bomb disposal team. Spanish police mourned the loss of their colleague, identified as Juan José, expressing sympathy to his family, friends, and colleagues. Spanish opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo extended condolences to the family of the deceased officer and wished a speedy recovery for the injured one.
