The National Investigation Agency (NIA) of India has arrested seven foreign nationals – six Ukrainians and one American – on charges of conspiring to carry out terrorist activities against India.

The arrests were made at airports in Delhi, Kolkata, and Lucknow. Investigations revealed that the accused had entered India on valid visas but had proceeded to Mizoram without permission. From there, they crossed into Myanmar, where they reportedly met ethnic groups hostile to India. Investigations also uncovered that they had delivered multiple consignments of drones from Europe to armed groups.

The suspects were brought to Delhi and remanded in custody until 27 March, while investigations are ongoing, according to The Indian Express.
