The blasts damaged two houses, authorities said in a statement, without adding further details.

Most of the fighting was described by the UN as “low intensity”, and occurring mostly in the uninhabited eastern part of the Morocco-built security wall.
Morocco has said autonomy is the most it can offer to the territory as a political solution. The Polisario and its ally Algeria demand an independent state.
The UN Security Council has urged the parties to the conflict to seek a mutually acceptable solution.

Israel was the latest country to recognize Morocco’s sovereignty over the territory in July, a move the US took in 2020.
