NNA - British Defence Secretary John Healey on Wednesday told parliament the Royal Navy was tracking a "Russian spy ship" in UK waters.

"The foreign ship Yantar is currently in the North Sea having passed through British waters. Let me be clear, this is a Russian spy ship used for gathering intelligence and mapping the UK's critical underwater infrastructure," he told lawmakers, adding this was the second time the vessel had entered UK waters in recent months. -- AFP
