Reports of large bomb attack in Corsica

According to a number of local news sources, there have been a number of explosions in the town of Penta du Casinca, around 30km south of Bastia.

Europe-1 is reporting that up to fifteen armed and masked men entered a Holiday Site, popular with French tourists, and set off a bombs in a number of buildings. There are no reports of any injuries as the camp is mainly used during the summer. Bomb disposal officers and the police are currently at the scene.

In November, a number of Corsican Nationalist politicians had called for an inquiry into the site over what they claimed were "financial irregularities".
