Russian submarine spotted near West coast of Scotland

HM Naval Base Clyde at Faslane, on Scotland’s west coast, is home to the UK’s nuclear submarines as well as other Royal Navy vessels.

A Royal Navy spokesperson said: “The Royal Navy routinely monitors UK territorial waters and the adjacent sea areas to ensure compliance with maritime law, to deter malign activity and to protect our national interests.”

A US intelligence officer told CBS, BBC’s North American partner, that Kazan was not carrying nuclear weapons.

Cuba’s Foreign Ministry identified the other Russian ships as the frigate Admiral Gorshkov, the fleet oil tanker Pashin and the salvage tug Nikolai Chiker.

Russia’s defence ministry said Admiral Gorshkov and Kazan are both carriers of advanced weapons, including hypersonic missiles Zircon. They earlier conducted missile drills in the Atlantic.

Russia has sent warships to Cuba in the past and the two nations are long-standing allies.

The US is closely monitoring the latest visit.
