BERLIN (Reuters) - German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall said on Friday that there was no evidence to suggest that an explosion at a munitions factory in south-eastern Spain that left six people injured was an attack.
"The company sees no evidence of an attack," Rheinmetall said in response to a request for comment, adding that local authorities were investigating the cause of the explosion.
A total of six people were injured in the incident, according to Rheinmetall - one seriously, another moderately and four with light injuries.
A Rheinmetall subsidiary manufactures powder for military and civilian applications at the Javali Viejo site, which employs 427 people.
"The production facilities have not been damaged by the incident and no production losses are expected," it added.
