The targets included the U.S. Embassy, the prime minister’s office, the Defense Ministry, the arms manufacturer Instalaza in Zaragoza, the satellite center at a Madrid air base and the Ukrainian Embassy. Only in the case of the Ukrainian mission did the letter explode [causing minor injuries to one staffer]; in the other places, they were detected in time.

On Wednesday afternoon, an envelope addressed to the head of Instalaza arrived at the company, which produces the C90 grenade launchers sent to Ukraine by the Spanish government.

Madrid has been a steady supporter of Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. As of August, the country had taken in some 130,000Ukrainian refugees, according to the Spanish Foreign Ministry. It has also provided small arms and air defense assets, and dispatched financial aid to Kyiv.

Looks like pro-Russian (or at least anti-Ukrainian) terrorism.
