A package delivered to the Swiss embassy exploded and caused serious injury to a 53-year-old male employee of the embassy.

The employee, who had the risk of losing his left hand, was rushed to a hospital.

Shortly afterwards, a bomb exploded at the Chilean embassy, injuring another person.

An embassy employee, who opened a package, was wounded by the explosion, but the injury was not life-threatening.

Police have arrived at the embassies to make investigations.

Meanwhile, a suspect package was founded at the Ukrainian embassy in Rome, according to ANSA.

But Rome's police chief Francesco Tagliente soon said the package turned out to be a false alarm.
