US Embassy in Spain also received package with explosives
A package with explosives identical to those addressed to the Ukrainian embassy, an air base, a military company in Zaragoza, the prime minister, and the defense minister of Spain was received by the US embassy in Spain.
Several publications, including El Mundo and El Pais, reported this.
The package arrived around 12:30 p.m., was identified as suspicious, and was successfully neutralized on the embassy premises.
It is noted that in all cases, these were the same brown envelopes with the same written address.
State Secretary for Security Rafael Perez said that the substance used in the packages is similar to those used in pyrotechnics.
He said: "There are indications that these packages originate from the territory of Spain, but I speak about this with caution."
Also, Rafael Perez said that the package that was sent to the Torrejon de Ardos Air Base was neutralized without an explosion, so it will be easier to identify the components and the possible sender.
