Facebook is still finding — and banning — accounts linked to the Internet Research Agency, the Russian troll army with ties to the Kremlin that tried to sway public opinion on Facebook during the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Facebook announced on Tuesday that has removed more than 270 Facebook and Instagram accounts controlled by the IRA. Unlike the other IRA accounts Facebook was aware of — the one’s targeting U.S. voters that were removed last fall — these accounts were “targeting people living in Russia,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a post.
