Russia has asked two Canadian diplomats to leave the country because of "activities incompatible with their diplomatic status", a Foreign Ministry report said Monday.

The move was in response to Canada's earlier demand that two Russian diplomats leave Canada "for no apparent reason," said the report.

The news was first reported in a Canadian newspaper, and no other details were immediately available.

Russia declared two staff members of Swedish embassy "persona non grata" last Monday following Sweden's expulsion of two Russian diplomats.
