A Russian court has extended the detention of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich for a third time since he was taken into custody in March over espionage charges.

The court's ruling on Tuesday has extended his detention through at least January 30 of next year, news wire ANI reported. The court's decision comes after a judge in August agreed to the request of investigators from the Federal Security Service (FSB) that Gershkovich remain in prison awaiting trial until November 30.
