Security forces in the Crimean city of Simferopol claim to have arrested an armed Ukrainian spy, the RIA Novosti news agency reported Wednesday.
Police seized a grenade, a pistol, and materials to construct an improvised explosive device from the man, who they accuse of working for the Ukrainian Defence Ministry.
The incident is the latest in a string of arrests against alleged "Ukrainian saboteurs and spies" in the disputed Crimean peninsula. Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) claimed that it arrested a group of Ukrainian saboteurs on Nov. 10, allegedly disrupting a plot against Crimea's military infrastructure.
