The Czech Republic is expelling 18 Russian diplomats over alleged links to an ammunition depot explosion in 2014, Prime Minister Andrej Babis said Saturday.
Babis said the move to banish the officials was based on "unequivocal evidence" provided by the country's intelligence and security services, DW reports.
These "unprecedented findings" point to the involvement of Russian military agents in the explosion that killed "two innocent fathers," Babis said.
He added: "The Czech Republic is a sovereign state and must adequately react."
