Russian aircraft buzz US Navy ship twice in Arctic

None

US officials say two Russian aircraft buzzed a US Navy warship in the Arctic's Barents Sea last week, each coming within about 50 yards (45 meters) of the frigate.

 

Flybys of Navy ships in international waters are not unheard of. But the Cold War-style incident was unusual enough to raise eyebrows. (AP)
