Navy divers, with the support of the Civil Guard Special Underwater Activities Group (GEAS), intercept a German torpedo off the coast of Can Picafort.

The Maritime Action Force Headquarters, through the Navy's Maritime Action Operations and Surveillance Centre (COVAM), deployed a team of explosives deactivators from the UBMCM who proceeded to intervene in situ using special explosive charges. They confirmed that it was a German G7 torpedo without explosive fuse, ruling out the existence of danger.

The Naval Sector of the Balearic Islands in Porto Pi, was in charge of the coordination for the successful execution of the operation, in which the Local Police and Civil Protection of Santa Margalida, the Club Nàutic C'an Picafort and the Palma 47th Regiment of the Spanish Army took part. They also had the invaluable support of the Underwater Activities Group of the Civil Guard of Palma de Mallorca.
