A Russian spy ship has been monitored by the Royal Navy after it entered UK waters earlier this week, the defence secretary has said - as he issued a warning to President Vladimir Putin.

A Royal Navy nuclear-powered submarine was deployed to warn off a Russian spy ship operating in the English Channel, the government has revealed. The hunter-killer submarine surfaced close to the Russian vessel The Yantar which was loitering over critical undersea cables.

Defence secretary John Healey said the Russian vessel Yantar is being 'used for gathering intelligence and mapping the UK’s critical underwater infrastructure'

The Russian spy ship was intercepted by a Royal Navy frigate, HMS Somerset, as it sailed into the channel and headed north to the North Sea. RFA Proteus, a British multi-role ocean surveillance ship, shadowed the Yantar on Tuesday, according to GPS data captured by the website MarineTraffic.

The Kremlin declined on Thursday to comment on UK accusations that a "Russian spy ship" passed through British waters, a day after London issued a warning to President Vladimir Putin.
