Moscow: The Russian Ministry of Defense said Russian warships on Friday prevented the destroyer of the US navy from what was described as an effort to disturb the waters of the Russian territorial in the Japanese sea.
The incident came when Russia and China did joint naval exercises in the area, and attended another nearby meeting involving Russian and Western warships.
The Ministry said that the Destreyer Tributs Admiral Navy Russia approached the destroyer of the US Chafee to force him out of the area near Russian waters declared forbidden for shipping due to Russian artillery exercises there.
It was said that the Russian ship approached the US warship after ignoring a repeat warning to leave the area at Peter the Great Gulf.
After “trying to cross the Russian sea border,” The US warship changed direction when the two ships were only 60 meters (66 meters) away from each other and drove, the ministry said.
It is charged that US Destroyer maneuvers represent “harsh violations” of international rules regarding ship replacement and the 1972 agreement between Moscow and Washington to prevent air and naval incidents.
In June, Russia said one of his warships fired warnings and a combat plane dropped a bomb on the British destroyer defenders to drop it from the waters near the city of Sevastopol.
England denied the account, insisted that his ship was not fired and said it sailed in Ukrainian waters.
Russian relations with the West has sunk into the lowest level since the Cold War, following the Annexation of Crimea Moscow, the accusation of Russian interference with the election, hacking attacks and other tensions.
