MI5 CHIEF: RUSSIAN SPOOKS PLOTTING MAYHEM ON OUR STREETS

RUSSIAN spies are plotting to cause mayhem on Britain's streets, the boss of MI5 has warned.

Ken McCallum, director-general of the intelligence agency, said the UK should be braced for further attacks on home soil as the war in Ukraine continues.

He added that MI5 had "one hell of a job on its hands" having foiled 20 Iran-backed plots in the last two years.

More than 750 Russian diplomats, many of them spies, have been expelled from Europe since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

This has led to Russia and Iran increasingly turning to British criminals and private intelligence officers to do their dirty work.
