Romania uncovers sabotage network coordinated by Russian intelligence services

Romania's Internal Intelligence Service (SRI), the agency responsible for domestic security and intelligence, has announced that it has uncovered a network of agents tasked with carrying out acts of sabotage on Romanian territory. According to the service, the network was directly coordinated by Russian intelligence services.

The announcement matters because it points to a sabotage operation inside Romania that, in the SRI's account, was run on instructions from Russian special services.

The source does not say how many people were in the network, who they were, what targets were planned, or whether anyone has been detained. Russia's response is also not described.
