MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Dutch diplomat was beaten up in his Moscow flat by unknown intruders, a week after Russia complained one of its envoys had been assaulted at his home in the Netherlands, the Dutch foreign ministry said on Wednesday.

The ministry said it would ask Russia to explain the incident - both reported attacks came at a time when Moscow and The Hague are already at odds over Russia's detention of Greenpeace activists, including two Dutch citizens.
