A ROYAL Navy frigate has been tracking a Russian warship in the North Sea to ‘deter malign activity’.

HMS Portland is monitoring the Russian guided missile frigate Admiral Gorshkov and accompanying tanker Kama as they sail in international waters close to the UK.

The Type 23 frigate joined the Norwegian Coast Guard vessel Bergen as the Russian ships transited south through the Norwegian Sea.
