Ukraine’s embassy in Spain receives package containing animal eyes and feet days after receiving letter bombs were sent to ambassador

The Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid received a “bloody” package on Friday, similar to those recently received at other Ukrainian diplomatic institutions, Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oleh Nikolenko said on Friday December 2 on Facebook.

Ukraine has put all embassies and consulates abroad under enhanced security measures after a series of incidents involving threatening packages, letter bombs and vandalism at its diplomatic missions.

This week Ukrainian embassies in Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Croatia, Italy and Austria, along with several Ukrainian consulates, have received bloody packages, containing animal eyes, Nikolenko said Friday on Facebook.

It was the second evacuation of the Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid this week, just two days after a letter bomb detonated when an embassy employee was handling it. He was slightly injured, Spanish officials said.

The receipt of a suspicious package at the embassy on Friday, prompted an immediate evacuation but a Spanish police bomb squad said it determined the package did not contain explosives, Spain’s Interior Ministry press office said in a statement.
