After a letter bomb exploded in the Ukrainian embassy in Madrid on Wednesday, leaving one person slightly injured, the Spanish government also announced that it had received a dangerous shipment. A letter bomb addressed to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez was received on November 24 and defused, the interior ministry said.
A similar shipment also arrived late Wednesday evening at arms manufacturer Instalaza in Zaragoza. The company produces weapons of war. Spain has shipped Instalaza products to Ukraine.
Fourth air base deployment
A fourth suspicious shipment was intercepted early Thursday morning at Torrejón Air Force Base near Madrid. From there, military planes depart with supplies for the Ukraine.
This package is currently being investigated by the police. “The scanner showed that there was a suspicious mechanism in it,” a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Defense told the German news agency.
The Spanish authorities do not rule out that all four programs are related to the war in Ukraine. The researchers assume terrorist attacks. Ukrainian ambassador Serhiy Pohoreltsev suspects Russia was behind the attack on the embassy. (SDA/no)
