Summary

Headline: Russian support ship KIL-158's unusual maneuvers and Latvian navy countermeasures in the Baltic Sea

Short Summary: Russian naval activity prompted a restricted antimissile/antitorpedo zone by the Latvian navy after suspicious patterns by support ship KIL-158.

Description

The Russian support ship KIL-158 conducted unusual maneuvers in the Baltic Sea near the coasts of Lithuania and Latvia, including a pattern of sailing toward shallow waters and pausing inside the Baltic. The Latvian navy issued a notice warning of a restricted antimissile/antitorpedo zone due to these activities. The pattern may indicate nonstandard operations or a form of hybrid activity in the region.

Evidence

Quotes

Russian support ship KIL-158 is making very slow detours along the coasts of Lithuania and Latvia.

Latvian navy has issued a notice for creating a limited antimissile/antitorpedo zone within 5 nm as of 09UTC.

The track links to the potential that the government is testing shallow active drive in the Baltic. Restricted notice in sector sea.
