A Russian naval ship carried out a live-fire weapons exercise in international waters off southern England, Britain's defence ministry says.
The ship, in the Channel around 40 miles (74 km) south of the UK port of Plymouth, on Monday, local time, 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 exercise was subsequently carried out in international waters and lasted for 30 minutes."
