U.S. Indo-Pacific Command spokesman Kyle Reines said the U.S. Navy is “flying, sailing and operating safely in international waters.”
This is how he commented on Sunday on the incident with Discovery of the U.S. Virginia-class submarine in the territorial waters of the Russian Federation near the Kuril Islands.
“What Russia has said about our operations in its territorial waters is not true,” Kyle Reines said.
A spokesman for the U.S. Armed Forces declined to reveal the exact location of the U.S. submarines for reasons of secrecy. “Interfax”.
On February 12, at 10:40, in the area of a planned exercise of the forces of the Russian Pacific Fleet, anti-submarine aircraft and a submarine discovered a US Navy submarine.
The crew of the frigate “Marshal Shaposhnikov” used appropriate means to force the violator of the state border to turn away.
“The American submarine left the territorial waters of the Russian Federation at maximum speed,” the Russian Defense Ministry said earlier.
