NATO Kicks Out Eight Russian Officials

BRUSSELS—The North Atlantic Treaty Organization said Wednesday it was ejecting eight members of the Russian delegation to the alliance, calling them undeclared intelligence officers.

The Russian Foreign Ministry didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the move, which extends a wave of tit-for-tat expulsions between Western countries and Russia in recent years as relations have soured. The U.S. and its allies have expelled scores of Russian diplomats in response to Moscow’s alleged covert operations, including cyberattacks, attempts to influence elections and a failed hit on a former Russian spy in England. Russia has hit back with expulsions of its own, blaming the West for worsening relations.
