Russian planes fly near US warship in Black Sea

3 hours ago US & Canada

Russian warplanes have made several close passes in recent days over a US destroyer sailing in the Black Sea, the Pentagon said.

Russian state media reported that the USS Ross was acting "aggressively".

The US Department of Defense, however, said the ship was "well within international waters at all times, performing routine operations".

The US Navy released video on Monday of a Russian plane passing as close as 500 metres to the USS Ross.
