LONDON: British police said on Tuesday a third Russian had been charged in absentia with the 2018 Novichok murder attempt on former double agent Sergei Skripal, saying they could also now confirm the three suspects were military intelligence operatives.

"We can't go into the detail of how, but we have the evidence that links them to the GRU," Haydon told reporters, describing them as highly-trained."All three of them are dangerous individuals."
