The U.S. Coast Guard has confirmed the detection of a Russian spy ship operating approximately 15 miles south of Oahu, Hawaii, outside of U.S. territorial waters. The presence of the ship, which has been identified as part of Russia’s naval fleet, has raised concerns among U.S. officials regarding potential intelligence gathering activities in the Pacific region. While the Coast Guard has not confirmed the ship’s specific activities, its proximity to U.S. territory has prompted calls for increased maritime surveillance and defense readiness.
