Summary of Russia subs and ships shadowed by U.S. Coast Guard off Alaska
The U.S. Coast Guard observed Russian naval vessels, including submarines, entering U.S. waters near Alaska to avoid sea ice within international rules. The encounter involved a frigate and tug boat, occurring northwest of Point Hope. The U.S. Coast Guard's Cutter Stratton monitored the situation to protect U.S. sovereign interests and fish stocks. This incident, under Operation Frontier Sentinel, reflects heightened military activity by strategic competitors in the Arctic, with recent interceptions of Russian and Chinese bombers near Alaska.
