In Madrid, Spain, a package with a bomb was discovered at the Torrejon de Ardos air base, from where aid was sent to Ukraine

This is reported by Mundo.

The media outlet noted that early in the morning on December 1, the security systems of the Torrejon de Ardos military base (Madrid) discovered a suspicious package that was addressed to the satellite center of the European Union.

It is emphasized that it was the one that provided Ukraine with strategic information about the war after the russian invasion.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Spain, the air base security systems detected a suspicious envelope between 3:00 and 4:00 in the morning. After X-ray analysis, it was determined that it might contain some mechanism inside.

The Civil Guard and the National Police were immediately informed about this.

This is the third explosive discovered in the country in a day.

Employees of both agencies immediately went to the base to secure the area. The Ministry of Defense confirmed this information and added that there were no casualties.
