British and Norwegian forces have completed a weeks-long operation to track Russian submarines near critical undersea cables in the North Atlantic. The operation involved over 500 British personnel and was sparked by the detection of an Akula-class attack submarine and two specialist submarines operated by Russia's Main Directorate for Deep Sea Research. The Russian vessels were operating within the UK's exclusive economic zone. The UK Ministry of Defense accused Moscow of covert activity targeting undersea cables and pipelines. The operation was successful, with the Russian submarines leaving the area without causing damage. The UK has warned that threats to its undersea network are increasing, with a 30% rise in Russian vessel activity near UK waters over the past two years.
