France is blaming the country’s bed bug scare on disinformation propagated by Russia.
Paris has been thrown into something of panic over fears that the city is in the midst of a bed bug plague, with insect infestations widespread and not slowing down.
The bugs even became a topic of debate in the country’s parliament, and the story had international repercussions when Algeria said it would take measures to ensure the pests weren’t spread to its territory.
But now French intelligence has said the real problem is Russian fake news propaganda.
