Russia on Wednesday accused a Dutch submarine of trying to monitor its aircraft carrier and escort vessels in the Mediterranean, denouncing such manoeuvres as "dangerous". The Dutch submarine, which was detected by anti-submarine helicopters, was located around 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the Russian warships, it said. "The vessels followed its manoeuvres for more than an hour and forced it to leave the deployment area of the aircraft carrier's group," a ministry statement said.
