GUARDIA CIVIL bomb experts have diffused an artillery shell which Spanish naval personnel dredged up in the port of Valencia City.

Officers from the Divers Unit of the Special Group for the Deactivation of Explosives (GEDE) were despatched to Valencia City from Cartagena after the projectile was found on Thursday.
