UK warns Putin after Russian spy ship returns to British waters | BBC News

The Royal Navy has been monitoring a Russian spy ship after it entered British waters earlier this week, the defence secretary has told MPs.

John Healey said the vessel, Yantar, was used for gathering intelligence and mapping the UK's critical underwater infrastructure.

He said the incident was "another example of growing Russian aggression".

Russia describes Yantar as an oceanic research vessel and it is operated by the country's Ministry of Defence.
