Russian Navy Enters Channel On Way To Exercises

Warships from Russia's Northern Fleet have entered the English Channel ahead of planned anti-aircraft and anti-submarine drills.

The vessels are due to carry out the military exercises in the north Atlantic, according to the Interfax news agency.

While it is not unusual for Russian warships to travel through the Channel, the incident comes at a time of heightened tensions over Russia's military activities.

In February the Royal Navy revealed it had intercepted a Russian frigate and monitored the vessel's passage through the Channel.

HMS Argyll, a Type 23 frigate with advanced Artisan radar, used a Lynx helicopter and sensors to locate and monitor the Russian warship.

The ship passed within 20 miles of the coastline off Kent.
