HMS Prince of Wales

U.K. fighter jets intercepted a Russian Bear-F plane near the HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier off Iceland. The Russian plane repeatedly approached the carrier 'unnecessarily close' and deployed sonar devices, according to the U.K. defense ministry.

The UK sanctioned nine Russian individuals and entities for developing chemical weapons used in attacks on Alexei Navalny and Sergei Skripal. The sanctions target two scientific institutes and officials linked to toxins like epibatidine and Novichok. The UK also criticized Russia's 'unsafe' approach to Royal Navy vessels in the Arctic and intercepted a Russian Bear-F aircraft near a British carrier strike group.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage claims he is a victim of a 'hit job' as the parliamentary standards commissioner investigates a £5m donation. UK fighter jets intercepted a Russian 'Bear-F' maritime patrol aircraft after it approached the carrier strike group in the Norwegian Sea.

Britain intercepted two Russian Bear F aircraft near the HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier in the Norwegian Sea, as part of an expanded NATO Arctic mission. The UK used F-35 jets to escort the Russian planes, which had deployed sonobuoys to track submarines. This action follows the UK taking command of NATO's rapid deployment special forces unit.

The UK Ministry of Defence reported a minor technical issue with the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales while docked in Norway. The ship is expected to sail in the coming days after working with NATO and the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) in the Atlantic and High North regions.
