The first Russian suspect — a 24-year-old man identified only as M.Z. — was detained after entering the plant’s grounds in Gramsh, about 50 miles south of the capital, Tirana, and taking photos, the ministry said in a statement. Two military guards were injured by a "neo-paralyzing spray" used by the Russians while resisting arrest, according to the ministry. They were taken to a military hospital for medical care.
Police quickly set up checkpoints and blocked a vehicle with the other two suspects inside.
