A security officer at Ukraine’s embassy in Madrid was injured when he opened a letter bomb addressed to the ambassador on Wednesday, prompting Kyiv to order greater security at all its representative offices abroad.The letter, which arrived by regular mail and was not scanned, caused “a very small wound” on one finger when the officer opened it in the embassy garden, Mercedes Gonzalez, a Spanish government official, told broadcaster Telemadrid.Hours later, an arms company in Zaragoza, northeastern Spain, received a similar package, local media reported citing police sources. Reuters could not independently confirm the information.Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba ordered all of Kyiv’s embassies abroad to “urgently” strengthen security and urged Spain to take investigate the attack, a ministry spokesman said.The perpetrators, he added, “will not succeed in intimidating Ukrainian diplomats or stopping their daily work on strengthening Ukraine and countering Russian aggression.”Ukraine’s ambassador to Madrid, Serhii Pohoreltsev, told TVE later that he was working as usual at the embassy “with no fear”.
