Two loud blasts have caused alarm in Malaga in southern Spain, though the cause was not immediately clear, with some media blaming aircraft.
The noise was heard across the town and prompted office workers to run to their windows, local government officials told El Mundo newspaper.

However, El Mundo and other media said the cause appeared to be one or two jets breaking the sound barrier.
The paper quoted government officials as saying there was no evidence of terrorist attack. However, police were mobilised.
The mobile phone system was reported to have failed shortly after the blasts were heard - though whether this was a direct result of the incident, or because of a sudden increase in calls, was not clear.
