Spain has tightened security after six letter bombs were sent to high-profile targets in a campaign believed to be linked to the country’s support for Ukraine.
The PM of Spain, the defence ministry and a weapons manufacturer which provided rocket launchers to Ukraine were targeted as well as the US and Ukrainian embassies and a military base.
No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the home-made devices.
The only casualty was a Ukrainian embassy official who needed hospital treatment for burns after opening an envelope containing gunpowder.
Ukraine has pledged to tighten security at its embassies around the world with its ambassador to Spain warning: ‘We have to be prepared for any kind of... Russian activity outside [Ukraine].’
