Russia expelled, on Tuesday, the American destroyer “John McCain” who was in Russian territorial waters in the Pacific, according to a note from the Russian Ministry of Defense.

“Today at 6.17, Moscow time, (3.17 in mainland Portugal) the destroyer of the United States Navy ‘John McCain’, who was in the waters of Japan for a few days, violated the Russian border in the area of ​​the Gulf of Pedro o Grande “, says the Ministry of Defense in a statement. According to the Moscow military, the American ship entered “two kilometers” in Russian waters.

To warn the ship “John McCain” of the need to leave Russian territorial waters, the anti-submarine ship “Admiral Vinogradov” was sent, which warned the American destroyer of the “possibility of being invested” if he did not leave Russian territorial waters.

The United States warship ended up leaving Russia’s territorial waters and heading for the “neutral zone” without trying to get back to where it was.
