Austria has declared two diplomats from the Russian embassy personae non gratae for actions "incompatible with their diplomatic status," ordering them to leave the country within a week, Austria's Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday, APA reports quoting Reuters.

The move brings to 11 the number of Russian diplomats Austria has expelled since 2020 in four separate rounds. It is not clear whether the expulsions are connected.

Officials have said that some previous expulsions involved spying, but as before the ministry gave no specifics.
