German spying: Two men held over suspected Russian sabotage plot

Two alleged spies suspected of planning to sabotage German military aid for Ukraine have been arrested in the southern German state of Bavaria.

The two men, described as dual German-Russian nationals, were detained in Bayreuth on suspicion of spying for Russia, prosecutors say.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said authorities had prevented “possible explosive attacks”.

The men are accused of scouting US military facilities and other sites.
