Electricity board car bombed in Corsica

A car belonging to the French Electricity Board (EDF) has been blown up in a bomb attack.

The attack occurred in the town Ghisonaccia in eastern Corsica at around 8.35pm. The blast caused significant damage to the car which was left in the parking lot of the department. There were no injuries.

Corsican separatists are suspected of carrying out the attack. An EDF office had been targeted earlier in the year. The attack comes following a wave of bombings across the island this week and just hours after a tourist resort was rocked by a number of explosions.
