A Russian fighter jet on Sunday buzzed past an American warship operating in the Black Sea, officials said, describing the incident as a dangerous, unjustified “low pass.”
The U.S. Sixth Fleet said the Russian jet flew over the destroyer USS Donald Cook, which is operating in international waters in the Black Sea.
Another destroyer, the USS Porter, and an American refueling ship, the USNS Laramie, also are in the Black Sea as part of an American-led effort to beef up defenses in the strategically vital region.
Russian military officials have protested the moves and over the weekend made their objections even clearer.
U.S. military personnel captured dramatic video footage of the Russian plane coming unusually close to the U.S. ship.
