The letter, according to Europa Press, had not been detected by the private surveillance service of the Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid.
Apparently, a package had arrived at the embassy and, according to La Sexta, the letter had not passed the necessary prior checks by the company. The explosive was homemade and was contained in an envelope. At the moment, it is being investigated as a possible attack and, for this reason, the police have activated the anti-terrorist protocol and have cordoned off the area where the embassy is located.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba has commented on the recent attack on the Ukrainian embassy in Spain. Kuleba has called for increased security at embassies after the explosion in Spain this morning.
On Telemadrid’s Telenoticias 1, the government delegate in Madrid, Mercedes González, by telephone, gave details of what happened, calling for calm and asking for caution while waiting for the investigation into the explosion to bear fruit.
