Russian authorities detain Wall Street Journal reporter on suspicion of espionage.

The Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich has been arrested in Russia on charges of spying for the US, according to the FSB security services. Gershkovich, who was working with press accreditation issued by the Russian foreign ministry, was detained for gathering information "on an enterprise of the Russian military-industrial complex." The Wall Street Journal has denied the allegations and called for Gershkovich's immediate release. The arrest comes amid a crackdown on perceived critics in Russia following the country's invasion of Ukraine.
