UK military forces have been deployed after detecting malign activity from Russian submarines operating in the North Sea, it has been revealed.
British Defence Secretary John Healey has accused Russian forces of trying to use the distraction of war in the Middle East to carry out a sabotage plot on undersea infrastructure.
The UK has deployed military vessels to prevent any attacks on cables and pipelines by Russian submarines that spent more than a month in and around British waters earlier this year, its defence minister John Healey has announced.
UK says Russia ran submarine operation over cables and pipelines
Three Russian submarines conducted a "covert" operation over cables and pipelines in waters north of the UK, Defence Secretary John Healey said.
A British warship and aircraft were deployed to deter the "malign" activity by Moscow and there was "no evidence" of any damage to UK infrastructure in the Atlantic, he added.
Addressing Russian President Vladimir Putin directly, Healey said: "We see you. We see your activity over our cables and our pipelines, and you should know that any attempt to damage them will not be tolerated and will have serious consequences."
The Russian embassy in London has denied Healey's claims, according to Moscow's state news agency Tass.
