The Royal Navy has confirmed it is tracking Russian vessels operating in UK waters, including the English Channel and the North Sea.
Ongoing surveillance operations
Warships and surveillance aircraft have been deployed to monitor the movements of the Russian ships, which have been active in the area in recent days.
The navy said the operations are routine but have been stepped up due to the increased presence of Russian vessels near British coastlines.
Response and coordination
HMS Tyne, a patrol vessel, has been tasked with shadowing the Russian ships, while Merlin helicopters have also been involved in the surveillance efforts.
The tracking is being conducted in coordination with Nato allies, reflecting a broader effort to ensure maritime security in the region.
Impact and next steps
The Royal Navy's actions are part of a standard response to foreign vessel activity in UK waters, ensuring the safety and security of British maritime borders.
No incidents have been reported, and the navy continues to monitor the situation as the Russian vessels remain in the area.
