UK warships have shadowed a Russian task group as it passed through British waters, the Royal Navy has said.
Type 23 frigate HMS Somerset and minehunter HMS Cattistock, along with RFA Tidesurge and Navy helicopters, monitored and reported every move of the four Russian vessels as they passed through the English Channel and the North Sea .
The Russian ships, which included destroyer RFN Severomorsk, landing ship RFN Alexander Shabalin and two transport ships, MV Sparta IV and MV Siyanie Severa, were sailing east towards the Baltic Sea.
It marks the third time in six weeks that the Royal Navy has shadowed Russian task groups returning from Syria.
