Russia has expelled a group of Hungarian diplomats in a response to Hungary's expulsion of Russian diplomats last month, according to Russia's Foreign Ministry.
The ministry said it summoned Hungary's charge d'affaires in Moscow to formally protest what it called an "unfriendly" decision by Budapest to expel Russian diplomatic staff.
Diplomatic expulsions between Russia and European countries have become more frequent since the start of Russia's war in Ukraine, with governments on both sides periodically ordering diplomats to leave over a range of allegations.
The statement, as reported, did not specify the number of diplomats expelled or the allegations behind the original Hungarian decision that prompted Moscow's response.
