A submission apparently exploded at the Ukrainian embassy in Madrid early Wednesday afternoon.
As Spanish media consistently reported, an embassy employee was slightly injured in the incident.
According to the "elDiario" portal, he is being treated in a hospital.
According to the reports, there was a "deflagration" when the embassy employee opened a letter.
For the time being, there was no further information about the item or the alleged sender.
The area around the embassy in north-east Madrid has been cordoned off for police investigations.
According to the broadcaster Telemadrid, special and anti-terrorist units are involved in the investigation.
The embassy itself initially did not comment on the incident.
