A Dutch diplomat in Russia has been beaten up by two unidentified men who barged into his apartment in central Moscow.
The attack follows the arrest of a Russian diplomat in The Hague earlier this month and is certain to add to growing tensions between the two countries.
Russia's Investigative Committee said Wednesday in a statement that it was investigating the incident, in which it said the Dutchman was tied up with tape.
