LONDON: A Russian naval ship carried out a live-fire weapons exercise in international waters in the Channel south of the UK port city of Plymouth, the British defense ministry said Tuesday. The ship located around 40 miles (74 km) south of the English coast on Monday informed a British naval patrol vessel, HMS Tyne, of its intention to fire and asked it to move to a safer position, the ministry said.

The Russian frigate Neustrashimy was shadowed by HMS Tyne, while a French military aircraft also monitored the vessel.
