MOSCOW, July 6 (Xinhua) -- Russia's Foreign Ministry said Monday it summoned Swedish Ambassador to Russia Kristina Johannesson to protest Sweden's failure to ensure the security of Russian diplomatic missions following repeated drone attacks.

The inaction of the Swedish authorities, including law enforcement agencies, amid the continued deterioration of security conditions for Russian diplomatic missions in Sweden was unacceptable, the ministry said in a statement.

The Russian Embassy in Stockholm said earlier that Russian diplomatic facilities in Sweden have been targeted in more than 25 drone-related attacks over the past two years, with the latest incident occurring on Thursday and involving two drones, RIA Novosti reported.

The Russian Foreign Ministry demanded that Sweden take effective measures in line with its obligations under international law to ensure the security of Russian diplomatic missions and personnel.
