Dutch security services expelled four Russians in April over a plot targeting the global chemical weapons watchdog, officials said.

Dutch authorities disrupted an attempt in April by Russian intelligence agents to hack the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Defense Minister Ank Bijleveld said.

At a press conference in the Hague, Bijleveld called on Russia to cease its cyber activities aimed at “undermining” Western democracies.
