Russian Spy Ship Spotted 30 miles Near US Naval Base
Washington - ArabToday
A Russian intelligence ship has been spotted off the coast of Groton, Connecticut, where Naval Submarine Base New London is located.
Spokeswoman for the US Defense Department Lt. Col. Valerie Henderson said the ship which approximately 30 miles from the US naval base, is still in international waters. The boundary for the ship to remain in international waters is 12 nautical miles, according to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, according to NBC news.
She added that the they are aware of the vessel's presence however, since it has not entered US territorial waters they would respect the freedom of navigation consistent with international law.
Although the Russian vessel hasn't broken any international laws with its presence, several Connecticut lawmakers have expressed concern over its proximity in light of the 2016 election hacks and outstanding questions surrounding Trump's former national security adviser's communications with Russia.
