Russian Warship Fires Live Rounds Near UK Coast

A Russian frigate conducted a live-fire weapons exercise just 46 miles off the UK coast, shadowed by a Royal Navy ship.

The incident heightened tensions as the UK government monitored the vessel's movements.

The Neustrashimy class vessel suddenly announced the drill, firing guns for 30 minutes south of Plymouth on the day Andy Burnham became PM. The Ministry of Defence said it was a rare and provocative action.
