British Navy: Our Warships Monitored 5 Russian Vessels
The Royal Navy announced in a statement that its warships and helicopters monitored five Russian vessels that allegedly passed through British waters earlier this month.
The statement, issued on Tuesday, said:
'The frigate HMS Iron Duke, based in Plymouth, the patrol vessel HMS Tyne, based in Portsmouth, and Wildcat aircraft from 815 Naval Air Squadron were deployed in three separate operations in the North Sea and English Channel between July 1 and 8.'
The Navy clarified that the British ships also took part in the 'Sea Breeze' exercise in Portland.
The Royal Navy added:
'The Royal Navy task group worked closely with NATO allies as they continuously monitored Russian activity, which included two Steregushchy-class frigates, an oil tanker, a cargo ship, and a Smolny-class training vessel crossing British waters.'
The Navy further explained that the two warships (HMS Tyne and HMS Iron Duke) tracked the Smolny-class training ship as it headed westward from the North Sea, through the English Channel, to northwest France.
One of the Steregushchy-class frigates was monitored as it returned from the eastern Mediterranean through the English Channel to the North Sea.

UK Urges Yemen's Houthis to Release Detained Crew of Sinking Vessel
Aden - United Kingdom has called on Yemen's Houthi militia to immediately and unconditionally release surviving crew members of the Eternity C cargo vessel, which was attacked and sunk in the Red Sea earlier this month. British authorities condemned the assault as a flagrant violation of international maritime law, stressing that most of the crew had no connection to the conflict and that their detention poses a direct threat to civilian lives. The UK joined the U.S. in labeling the incident as terroristic in nature, urging the Houthis to halt further maritime aggression. The fate of several crew members remains uncertain, with reports suggesting some have been captured by the Houthis. The UK expressed deep concern and emphasized the need for their safe return to their families, as search operations continue.

Yemen : Satellite images appear to show damage at Houthi ports after Israeli strikes
Publicly available images taken by the European Union's Sentinel-2 satellite appear to show damage to a Houthi-controlled port in the Yemeni city of Hodeida and another port nearby following Israeli strikes there this week. The photos show extensive damage to the Hodeida port and at least three ships there, as compared to satellite photos taken before the strikes, with one vessel largely submerged and two others unmoored from the dock. Nearby buildings appear to be flattened, and parts of the concrete dock are no longer visible. The images also appear to show damage to a building identified online as a fish market in a part of the city south of the port. Extensive damage can also be seen at the nearby port of as-Salif. On Tuesday, British security firm Ambrey said it had observed imagery showing damage to the concrete docks at the Hodeida port as well as to two Barbados-flagged bulk carriers. Israel said Monday it had carried out extensive airstrikes on Houthi targets including the ports of Hodeida, Ras Isa and Salif, and the Ras Khatib power station.
