BERLIN (AA) — German security forces arrested two suspected Russian spies for planning sabotage operations within the country, authorities said on Thursday.

Both suspects were German-Russian dual citizens and allegedly involved in plans to attack military infrastructure and industrial sites, according a statement by the Federal Prosecutor's Office.

"The actions were intended in particular to undermine the military support provided by Germany to Ukraine against the Russian war of aggression," the prosecutors said.

The main suspect, Dieter S., had collected information about potential attack targets, including US military facilities in Germany, the investigators said.
