Britain deployed its armed forces earlier this year to deter Russian submarines suspected of operating near critical undersea cables and pipelines in UK waters, Defence Secretary John Healey said on Thursday (April 9). British forces, working with allies including Norway, tracked the submarines for weeks and acted to discourage any potential hostile activity. Healey said the government decided to make the operation public to signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin that the vessels had been detected and closely monitored. He added that the submarines had since left British waters and moved north. Officials also confirmed there was no evidence of damage to the UK’s vital underwater infrastructure.
