June 2026 | Gazette Life | 7Workers unearthed a potentially dangerous 50 mm mortar round while working on a construction site in Tiagua last month. After reporting the discovery, Guardia Civil agents arrived and activated the GEDEX (Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit). When the specialists arrived, they identified the object as a 50mm mortar round, presumably a remnant of military exercises in the area several years ago. After securing the area, they removed the projectile for safe disposal.

HIGH HOPES FOR GRAPE HARVESTFirefighters rescued eight Ruddy Shelduck ducklings from an aljibe (water tank) in La Degollada, Yaiza, last month.Local Police had notified them that the ducklings were in the aljibe, and were unable to get out, with some of the ducklings already having died. Two firefighters in diving gear rescued the surviving ducklings.The Ruddy Shelduck is a large cinnamon-coloured duck that has established itself on the eastern Canaries in recent years.A man from Tinajo was imprisoned by a court in Arrecife and is charged with the homicide of a 20-day-old baby. On April 12th, the man and his partner took the infant, which is reported as suffering from heart failure to Tinajo Health Centre, but upon finding it closed they then went to the Local Police station, where agents administered first aid. Afterwards, the baby was rushed to hospital in Arrecife, and then transferred to the Maternity Hospital in Las Palmas, where it died days afterwards.Police began to suspect the father after he changed his story, first claiming that the baby had choked, then saying the infant had been in a car accident with him.
