How different outlets are framing this

Based on the limited sourcing provided, there is insufficient information to conduct a comprehensive framing analysis across different outlets and regions. Only one source (ABC News) is available, which presents the story in straightforward factual terms focused on the diplomatic expulsions and the technical method allegedly used (antenna-based spying). To properly analyze how different outlets and regions are framing this story - including what they emphasize, downplay, or omit - additional sources from various international outlets, European media, and potentially Russian state media would be needed to identify patterns in coverage, editorial emphasis, and regional perspectives on this diplomatic incident.
