The dataset records six letter bombs sent in November and December 2022 to Spain's prime minister, the US and Ukrainian embassies, the defence ministry and an arms manufacturer, and says the Russian Imperial Movement was suspected of acting for Russian intelligence. It codes the incident as terrorism, apparent goal disrupt (military) aid to Ukraine, target politician(s) / Official(s); military / weapons production infrastructure, location Spain; the dataset records it as running from November 2022 to 2022-12-31, and the date shown is the start of that period. The Leiden dataset includes incidents linked to Russia by officials, incidents fitting a pattern of officially suspected attacks, or incidents backed by journalistic evidence, and its authors call the data speculative and subject to change.
