MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The group of people who attacked the North Korean Embassy in Madrid on February 22, assaulting staff members and seizing their computers and documents, filmed their actions on micro-cameras, El Pais reported on Thursday, citing unnamed sources in the Spanish police.

Ten people took part in the attack. They reportedly tried to obtain "sensitive information" about North Korea's nuclear and arms program several days ahead of the fruitless Hanoi summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

The perpetrators used the cameras in order to film their actions for those who ordered and financed the attack, El Pais newspaper specified.
