(CNN)A Russian warship "aggressively approached" a US Navy destroyer while it was operating in the North Arabian Sea Thursday, ignoring warnings from the US vessel and increasing the risk of a collision, the US Navy said Friday.

The incident is the latest example of a close encounter between US and Russian military forces that US officials have described as unsafe and provocative and comes roughly seven months after another incident in the Pacific in June when US and Russian warships came so close the US ship had to perform an emergency maneuver to avoid a collision.

"On Thursday, Jan. 9, while conducting routine operations in the North Arabian Sea, USS Farragut was aggressively approached by a Russian Navy ship," the US Navy's Fifth Fleet, which oversees naval operations in the Middle East, said in a statement.

A US Navy official says that the Farragut is part of the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier group and the Farragut is tasked with intercepting potential enemy ships to prevent them from approaching the aircraft carrier.

Two defense officials said the Russian vessel got as close as 180 feet from the US ship and that there was bridge to bridge communication between the two warships.

The incident is the latest example of a close encounter between US and Russian military forces that US officials have described as unsafe and provocative and comes roughly seven months after another incident in the Pacific in June when US and Russian warships came so close the US ship had to perform an emergency maneuver to avoid a collision.

This story is breaking and will be updated with additional developments.

Say NO to war!!!

Show of force

Figment of American's enemies imagination.
Silence means consent, intelligent NairaLanders have, for long time now, observed how senseless jihadists have continually concocted defamatory writeup against Trump that killed the Iran Terrorist that is guilty of over 426 American and Christian deaths. These ever blood thirsty perpetual imbeciles said nothing to condemn the killings of Nigerians by Bokoharam, ISWAP, etc. support killings of innocent gullible Christians that have refused to defend themselves. Since non would accept their shallow gospel normally, they kill to take over Christian Lands, Wives and Daughters and converted them to theirs.

God is a Spirit!!! God does NOT come down to do anything for you, He works through you to achieve His purpose on Earth. You need money, food, clothing, protection, victory over those that wants to kill you, but you refuse to arise so that He can grant all these through you?! Ok, you quote scripture to justify your stupidity?! Are you spiritually educated at all?!

Read History. To dumb down and control the Christian world, the NWO agents removed the several countless parts of Bible that encourages Christians to defend themselves, but never foresaw that jihadists would have taken advantage of that for centuries. These satanic muhamadans even quote scriptures here to make Christians that want to defend themselves give up and get slaughtered. They've mastered the act of deception and fake propaganda.

The NWO agents that watered down the Bible and turned it to brainwashing tool mistakenly only left the part where Jesus said "sell your cloths and buy swords". They reduced Bible from 87 Books to 66 Books and introduce pulgatory, indulgence, etc. The further reduced in to 14 Books called Slave Bible that they used to brainwash, dumbed down and prevented Africans from defending themselves during the Slave Trade era. They turn Bible to tool of perpetual slavery instead of empowerment as it was originally. Free yourselves from mental slavery!!! God never order you to submit yourselves to slaughter as gutless chickens. Biblical David, Daniel, Gideon, Martin Luther King Senior, Donald Trump, etc. all fought and liberated Christians in their time shall all make Heaven while cowards Christians that quote what RC put to enslave them shy away from fighting amd defending their own future generation shall forever roast in HellFire.

Many thanks to Trump, Christians are waking up worldwide. Any cowardly Christian that has not woken up to allow GOD to use him/her to fight and destroy the enemies of their future generation shall not make Heaven. The Book of Revelation said such cowards shall be thrown into HellFire! Jesus is not a liar, he said he did NOT come to destroy the Law that helped Humanity maintain sanity before he came, the Law says "He that killed with sword Must die by the sword!" Which means that all muslims that have killed Christians must be killed so that the World would finally know peace. In fact, coward Christians are the reason why the World keep suffering, because they are causing an inbalance that makes killers thinks they can kill and nothing would happen. They dare not the nonsense they are doing in Nigeria in India, because Hindus have killed them with triple destruction when they tried, likewise China has slaughtered the few ones that tried to start the nonsense they doing here there.

I've seen these deceitful souls mohamedans quote dumb Bible verses to make Christians continue to submit themselves to them for slaughter like brainless chickens. The only language that these satanic blood-thirsty bastards understand is higher destructive violence. They are completely evil in their nature to shed innocent blood and they don't stop until you speak the language they understand, which is to massively kill them with triple destruction more fiercer than their capability..That is the only way they will allow you to be what GOD has sent you to be on Earth. Isreal, India, China, America, and other sensible people have woken up to that reality, but some coward Christians are still hiding under dumbed-down scriptures to selfishly cowardly watch their wife and children being rendered fatherless. Once and for all, Nigeria Christians free yourselves from real mental slavery!

WWIII in our time
Its going to be modern warfare
Africa thinks they are going to be left out....
The shelling on Africa would be for entertainment purpose.

The incident is the latest example of a close encounter between US and Russian military forces that US officials have described as unsafe and provocative

Thanks for no war situation

Enemies have perfected the deceptive ability of manipulating Western world against one another. See the truth here: https://www.nairaland.com/5623854/evidences-justified-trumps-action-against

Russia always acting like a kid.
Putin is just a common mafia boss always acting like they are tough, but never ever trowing a blow except at todlers like Ukrain.
Russia is under US sanction that's damaged their economy and US and Isreal are bypassing them to carry out air strike in Syria.

lloyds:
The only country America cannot dare harass is Russia. . Till date no one knows the exact mass of Russian milliary weaponry.

They can destroy America and USA is deep down weary of that fact.... Russia will match America in most things, military wise.

Forget it, this is all Russian can do. The US military is built to fight 2 major wars simultenuosly and not loss.
Russia is just grandstanding because they know the US will always act with restraint.
Isn't Russia under US sanction?

People thinking any issue will come up are dreaming. US intelligence saved Russia twice under Trump administration from terrorist attack on Russia soil. The recent one was that of 31st Dec. 2019 to 1st January 2020. Previous one was that of 2017. They are cool.

US, I think Russia is trying to pull your legs

..
On another thread ,u said 'no to war ' and here now,u are saying something different...

The former US I know would have blown up that ship lol... They gave you warning several times, and you ignored.

i knew Russia wants a war so badly and instead of US to retailiate Irans attack on two of its base, Trump shamelessly back down and opted for useless economic sanctions


.

Cosmatikka:
Russia wan buy market

Really?
U no even sabi Russia sef!

The Russians should have just blown that piece of useless American ship into oblivion!!!!



Useless Americans....


The world have had enough of their shit....
