Czechia expels 18 diplomats after discovering that the GRU's were behind the explosions at Czech factories in 2014. After six years of investigating the blast.
MAkes you wonder, how much aggression will other countries tolerate?
Evidence links the 2014 explosion, and an attempted poisoning in Bulgaria, to a unit of Russian military intelligence - the GRU - the BBC has learnt.
European intelligence agencies believe the GRU's Unit 29155 is tasked with sabotage, subversion and assassination.
The Russian government said the claims were unfounded and absurd.
Czech authorities say they are expelling 18 Russian diplomats believed to be intelligence operatives in retaliation for the explosion, which killed two people.
Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis said the country had to react to revelations tying the blast to the GRU.
The country will inform Nato and European Union allies about its suspicions, and will discuss the matter at an EU foreign ministers' meeting on Monday, its acting Foreign Minister Jan Hamacek said.
In fact, Czech nattional police are certain that Alexander Mishkin and Anatoly Chepiga were behind the explosion of 50 tons of ammo that left two Czech citizens dead in 2014.
