MOSCOW (Reuters) - A representative of the Australian embassy in Moscow arrived at the Russian foreign ministry building on Friday, a Reuters camera operator at the scene said.

The ministry said it is summoning the envoys of Western states who took "unfriendly steps" towards Russia over the poisoning of former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter.
