英国国防部长John Healey说,在苏格兰以北英国水域附近发现一艘俄罗斯间谍船Yantar号,据报朝皇家空军Poseidon-8型侦察机的飞行员发射激光。 A Russian spy ship, the Yantar, was spotted near UK waters north of Scotland and reportedly directed lasers at pilots from a Royal Air Force Poseidon-8 reconnaissance plane, UK Defense Secretary John Healey said. 并证实英国已调整海军接战规则, 如果船只向南行进, 可以做出更强有力的回应。 Healey called the incident part of a growing "new era of threat" and confirmed the UK has adjusted naval rules of engagement to allow a stronger response if the vessel moves further south. Yantar号以收集情报和海底电缆测绘而闻名,以前曾在联合王国水域探测到。 The Yantar, known for intelligence gathering and undersea cable mapping, has previously been detected in UK waters. 俄罗斯大使馆否认了这些指控,称该船为在国际水域作业的民用研究船,并指控联合王国紧张局势升级。 The Russian embassy denied the allegations, calling the ship a civilian research vessel operating in international waters and accusing the UK of escalating tensions. 联合王国重申其对乌克兰的支持和对欧洲安全的承诺。 The UK reiterated its support for Ukraine and commitment to European security.
