In April 2026, the UK and Norway, along with unnamed allies, conducted a month-long military operation to deter Russian spy submarines in the North Atlantic. The UK Defence Secretary John Healey revealed that a Royal Navy frigate, aircraft, and hundreds of personnel tracked a Russian attack submarine and two spy subs near undersea cables. The operation successfully prevented potential sabotage efforts by the Russian vessels, which eventually left the area.

The operation involved tracking a Russian attack submarine and two spy submarines over a month, preventing potential sabotage of critical underwater infrastructure.

The UK Ministry of Defence released satellite imagery supporting the defense of undersea cables, detailing a month-long operation tracking Russian submarines near British waters. The operation aimed to deter potential sabotage of critical underwater infrastructure by Russian vessels.

British and Norwegian militaries led an operation to deter Russian submarines suspected of 'malign activity' in the North Atlantic, monitoring a Russian attack submarine and two spy submarines near undersea infrastructure north of the UK.
