"Our armed forces left [Russia] in no doubt that they were being monitored, that their movements were not covert, as President Putin planned, and that their attempted secret operation had been exposed."
Three Russian submarines were involved in covert operations targeting undersea cables and pipelines north of the UK. The British Defence Secretary confirmed that a British warship and aircraft were deployed to deter this activity, which was deemed malign. There was no evidence of damage to UK infrastructure. The UK relies heavily on undersea cables for internet traffic. The Royal Navy tracked the submarines, demonstrating their monitoring capabilities. Other nations, including Norway, assisted in tracking the Russian movements.
