A UK submarine tracked a Russian spy ship near critical undersea cables in British waters last fall and forced its departure. This week, the same vessel, the Yantar, was spotted again near British waters, prompting accusations from UK Defense Secretary John Healey of mapping UK infrastructure for intelligence gathering. Healey deployed Royal Navy vessels to monitor the Yantar and authorized a submarine to surface near the ship as a deterrent. This incident highlights increasing concerns about hybrid warfare and threats to critical undersea cables.
