Breaking News: Russian Spy Ship Sighted on UK Waters, Defence Secretary Warns of Potential Threat A Russian spy ship, identified as the Yantar, has been spotted on the edge of UK waters north of Scotland, Defence Secretary John Healey revealed in a press conference at Downing Street. The ship has allegedly pointed lasers at pilots of surveillance aircraft monitoring its activities. The Defence Secretary confirmed that this is the second time in a year the Yantar has entered UK waters.
