Two second homes were hit by criminal explosions on Saturday evening in Erbalunga, a marina in the town of Brando (Haute-Corse).

The explosions, heard shortly before 11 p.m. by many inhabitants of this tourist town of Cap Corse, caused significant damage, but no injuries.

“Investigations are underway to determine the nature of the explosive used.

The damage caused still demonstrates a certain expertise, ”said the public prosecutor of Bastia, Arnaud Viornery.

An investigation was opened and entrusted to the research section of the gendarmerie.

No claim or registration has been noted by the investigators at this stage of the investigations.

Island regulars

The houses belong to owners who have been in the village for many years.

One is located by the sea, the second is closer to the interior of the town.

One of the owners resides on the continent, the other is Italian.

In November, an "explosion of criminal origin" partially destroyed a residence under construction in Corte (Haute-Corse), without being the subject of a claim.

In early September, an attempted attack also targeted four bungalows belonging to a continental near Ajaccio (Corse-du-Sud).

Claimed by the clandestine independence group FLNC, this attempt is the subject of an investigation by the anti-terrorist prosecution (Pnat).

In early September, the clandestine movement threatened a return to armed struggle on the island if the French state continued "its policy of contempt".
