Spanish Police believe that the letter bombs sent to high-profile targets, including Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, were sent from the northern Valladolid city, a source close to the investigation told Reuters on Saturday.&nbsp;The letter bombs were sent to Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid, government offices, a European Union satellite company and the US Embassy, apart from the PM, between November 24 and December 2.

The Spanish media said that the explosive devices were homemade and contained only small amounts of explosives and metal balls.

State TV broadcaster RTVE, citing police sources, reported that the letters did not explode upon opening but instead produced a flash of flame.

Though most were defused, an employee at the Ukrainian embassy was slightly injured when one of the devices ignited.

It is being speculated that the bombs might have been sent in response to Spain's support for Ukraine, however, no one has&nbsp;claimed responsibility for sending them.

The source, who did not wish to reveal himself, said no person has been identified as the sender of the packets.

Earlier, Spain’s Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska claimed that the letter bombs, which also targeted Ukraine’s embassy, might be connected to Russia’s war in Ukraine.
