Ukraine says bloody packages sent to several embassies

Two days after an explosion at Ukraine’s embassy in Madrid, a government spokesman said that “bloody packages” were received at embassies in Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Croatia, and Italy, and at consulates in Naples, Krakow, and Brno. Footage from Brno, in the Czech Republic, shows police at the consulate there. Both the consulate building and a nearby kindergarten were evacuated, Czech Police said. The package in Brno, which was initially thought to contain explosives, contained animal tissues, police said. A Ukrainian embassy in the US received a letter containing an article criticizing Ukraine at the same time as the European packages, Nikolenko added.
