The CoR (Defense Committees of the Republic) last night took a step forward in terms of their violent action. Several members carried firework tubes that they launched against the Mossos helicopters that supported the riot forces of the autonomous body and the National Police from the air.

The devices flew especially under last night and were a relatively simple target for radicals. In the video, published by the Unified Association of Civil Guards, it can be seen that at least one of these devices hit one of the helicopters. According to the Mossos d'Esquadra, the violent groups made at least five fireworks against the helicopter that flies over the disturbance zone.

Protesters threw Molotov cocktails at the police and pyrotechnics against the police helicopter during the riots. The fighting that took place in the center of the Catalan capital was increasing in intensity and the burning of cars, motorcycles, destruction of scaffolding and numerous barricades and fires , the launch of Molotov cocktails and acid against the agents was added.

The center of Barcelona became the scene of serious clashes for the third consecutive night, after the demonstration that the CDR convened in the afternoon and that resulted in very violent clashes between groups of protesters and the police, similar to those of the urban guerrillas.

In a wide perimeter of the Eixample district of Barcelona , hooded youths clashed with the Police, who toured the streets with vans trying to contain vandalism and fired foam shells.

In one of the hottest spots of the night, at the confluence of the streets Naples with Gran Vía, the police had to go back to the aggressiveness of the protesters , who threw blunt objects, containers with acid and Molotov cocktails.

In other Catalan towns, such as Manresa, Girona and Vic , the demonstrations against the sentence of the procés also ended in clashes, and in Tarragona the most violent groups launched Molotov cocktails.

Because of the clashes, many streets of the Eixample were covered with broken glass, and the burning of numerous containers, as well as vehicles and motorcycles, caused the vehicles to have to overcome smoking fires and calcined containers to continue circulating.
