A Russian ship which was trying to spy on Britain's undersea cables and critical infrastructure has been forced out of UK waters by a Royal Navy submarine. Defence Secretary John Healey told MPs he had given the green light for a Royal Navy nuclear-powered sub to surface to force the spy ship, Yantar, away.It came into waters in the North Sea last year in November, and returned on Monday, where it was closely monitored from UK shores.
Mr Healey issued a direct threat to President Putin, saying: "we see you, we know what you are doing and we will not shy away from robust action to protect this country" after telling MPs about the Russian spy vessel's movements.
