NATO allies foiled a plot where Russian subs trained to unleash a secret weapon designed to disable critical undersea cables without leaving any fingerprints, it has been reported.A joint operation involving Britain, Norway and the United States tracked and confronted the Russian vessels at sea, officials told Reuters after a clandestine Russian operation was carried out by Moscow's GUGI undersea warfare directorate. Deep-sea submersibles were used to simulate the deployment of the sophisticated and destructive technology capable of disrupting deep sea cables vital for global internet connectivity and financial transactions. The vessels were prevented from completing their exercise and eventually left the area.The discovery of the new weapon, location of the operation and US involvement come months after Britain and Norway disclosed that they had uncovered a covert Russian operation in Arctic waters. The deep-sea face-off comes at a time when some Western intelligence officials fear the Kremlin is ramping up sabotage operations in Europe and preparing for a conflict with NATO.Meanwhile, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky's flight from Moldova to Norway was delayed after it was almost hit by a Russian drone, Norwegian prime minister Jonas Gahr Store said.Bryony Gooch10 September 2026 14:00Bryony Gooch10 September 2026 13:30Russia says it will continue attacks on Ukrainian ships carrying ammunitionThe Kremlin, asked about a potential moratorium ⁠on attacks on ships in the Black Sea, ⁠said on ​Thursday ⁠that its armed forces ⁠would continue to ​destroy vessels ⁠carrying ammunition ‌for the Ukrainian army.Both Ukraine ‌and Russia ‌have stepped up attacks in ⁠recent weeks against commercial ships, sending world grain prices higher.
