MADRID, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Spanish police have cordoned
off the area surrounding the Ukrainian embassy in Madrid after
it received a "bloody package" similar to the ones sent to other
embassies abroad, Ukraine's foreign ministry said on Friday.
This comes after a
spate of six letter bombs
targeted high-profile targets in Spain related to the war
in Ukraine, including the United States' embassy, Prime Minister
Pedro Sánchez, the Defence Minister, an arms manufacturer, an
air base and a European satellite centre.
On Friday, the Ukrainian foreign ministry said several
of the country's embassies abroad have
received "bloody packages"
containing animal eyes.
