MOSCOW, Oct 15 - RIA Novosti. A US destroyer attempted to violate the state border of the Russian Federation in the Sea of Japan, a large anti-submarine ship of the Pacific Fleet "Admiral Tributs" stopped the violation, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

It is reported that on October 15, at about 17.00 local time, the US Navy destroyer Chafee (DDG 90), which has been in the Sea of Japan for several days, approached the territorial waters of the Russian Federation and "attempted to cross the state border."

"Admiral Tributs", who was in the area, warned the foreign ship about the inadmissibility of such actions via an international communication channel. It is added that the American ship was also notified that it was in an area closed to navigation due to "artillery firing within the framework of the joint Russian-Chinese exercise "Maritime Interaction-2021" taking place from October 14 to 17.

"After receiving the warning, the destroyer Chafee, instead of changing course to leave the closed area, raised the flags of the colors indicating preparation for takeoff from the helicopter deck, which means that it is impossible to change course and speed, and took actions to violate the state border of the Russian Federation in Peter the Great Bay," the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation said.

It is emphasized that, acting within the framework of international rules of navigation, the Admiral Tributs ship set a course to oust the violator from Russian territorial waters.

"Chafee, convinced of the determination of the crew of the Russian ship not to allow violation of the state border, changed direction and at 17.50 turned back on the return course when less than 60 meters remained to the Admiral Tributs BOD. The actions of the crew of the US Navy destroyer Chafee are a gross violation of the international rules for preventing collisions at sea and the Russian-American intergovernmental agreement on the prevention of incidents on the high seas and in the airspace above it of 1972," the Russian military department added.

It is noted that the Admiral Tributs BOD continues to perform tasks in the waters of the Sea of Japan.
