LONDON, Nov 19, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - UK Defence Secretary John Healey said Wednesday that the Russian military ship Yantar had entered British waters and directed lasers at British pilots.

"The Yantar is on the edge of UK waters, north of Scotland, having entered the UK's wider waters over the last few weeks," he told reporters, warning Russian President Vladimir Putin should the ship travel further south: "We are ready."
