One man received minor injures after a suspected mail bomb detonated in the British Embassy in Croatia. The device exploded in a post room at the consulate in Zagreb at around 6.30am this morning.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: “One person suffered minor injuries when an explosive device detonated in a post room.”

Security has been stepped up at the site as a result of the blast, but embassy officials could not confirm if a specific threat had been received.

Several Western embassies in Zagreb, as well as some offices of international institutions, received threatening letters in English in March, which diplomats said were probably related to the growing anti-EU sentiment in Croatia.
