Pentagon: 'aggressive' Russian naval ship nearly caused Arabian Sea collision

The Pentagon accused the Russian navy on Friday of aggressive actions in the Arabian Sea after one of its ships very nearly collided with a US Navy destroyer. The Russian ship ignored collision warning blasts from the USS Farragut and came extremely close before turning away, narrowly averting a crash on Thursday, said the US Navy 5th Fleet, which released video footage of the incident. "While the Russian ship took action, the initial delay in complying with international rules while it was making an aggressive approach increased the risk of collision," the fleet said in a statement.
