Russia said on Thursday it was expelling the British defence attache and promised further, unspecified retaliation after Britain threw out his Russian counterpart last week, APA reports citing Reuters.
Russia's Foreign Ministry said it had summoned a British embassy representative to inform them of the move.
On May 8, Britain announced it was ordering out the Russian defence attache, describing him as an undeclared military intelligence officer.
The British diplomat, Adrian Coghill, was given a week to leave the country.
