OSLO (Reuters) - Estonia's Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said on Tuesday that her country had successfully halted a hybrid operation by Russia's security services on Estonian territory.

"We know the Kremlin is targeting all of our democratic societies," Kallas said in a post on social media X.

Public broadcaster ERR on Tuesday reported that Estonia's internal security service (ISS) had detained 10 people as part of a criminal investigation linked to the vandalisation last year of a car belonging to the country's interior minister.
