Russian Spy Ship Yantar, UK Territorial Waters

The Russian spy ship Yantar was spotted on the edge of UK waters north of Scotland, prompting the deployment of a Royal Navy frigate and RAF P-8 aircraft. UK Defence Secretary John Healey reported that the vessel directed lasers at British pilots, an action he described as "deeply dangerous." The ship is believed to be mapping undersea cables and gathering intelligence on UK maritime infrastructure.
