The EU has summoned Moscow's ambassador to Brussels to provide explanations for the attack on a European diplomat in Russia.
A diplomat from the European External Action Service was attacked on May 26 in Vladivostok, an eastern Russian city near the border with North Korea, where she was on official business, Der Spiegel newspaper reported on Tuesday.
"We can confirm that a member of our staff was attacked in the early hours of Monday, May 26, in Vladivostok," European Commission spokeswoman Anitta Hipper said on Wednesday.
"We condemn any violence against EU diplomats. They must be able to carry out their duties free from fear and intimidation."
The official was attacked after she left her hotel for an early morning walk. A car stopped and two men got out, threatened her and then beat her, according to a German news report.
The commission did not say whether it believed the attackers were linked to the Russian government. The Russian permanent mission to the EU had no immediate comment on the matter.
