Last week, Ukraine reported that a number of “bloody packets” were sent to her diplomatic missions throughout Europesoon after a letter bomb exploded at the Ukrainian embassy in Spain, while police neutralized other similar letters sent to, among others, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
Postal service security staff spotted the new files during a check this morning and alerted police, the sources said. Officers found no explosives or flammable substances inside, the sources added.
Ukraine’s embassy in Madrid had already received a package with animal eyes on Friday that the interior ministry said bore a foreign stamp.
Evidence from that package shared with the postal service helped its personnel identify the latter, police sources added.
On Saturday, a source with knowledge of the investigation told Reuters that the six letter bombs appeared to have been sent from the northern city of Valladolid.
Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko confirmed the latest seizures today and said there are now 21 known cases in which such threats have been sent to diplomatic missions in 12 countries.
