"As of now, nine policemen and two servicemen of Spain's Civil Guard received injuries while enforcing the decision of the [Constitutional] Court," the ministry wrote on Twitter.
Earlier in the day, a number of polling stations opened across Catalonia. The Spanish government is considering the vote as illegal and taking measures aimed at foiling the referendum. According to media reports, police resorted to rubber bullets to disperse the protesters, who attempted to prevent police from shutting down the polling stations.
