A Russian warship fired a warning shot at Norwegian fishermen, forcing them to leave the fishing grounds.

During the Russian exercises Ocean-2024 in the Barents Sea, a destroyer Admiral Levchenko fired a warning shot towards a Norwegian fishing vessel. The incident took place on September 12 in the north of the Varanger Peninsula, in Norway’s exclusive economic zone. The Barents Observer reported this on Monday, September 23.

The crew of the fishing vessel Ragnhild Kristine received a radio signal to leave the fishing area, but refused to follow the instructions, explaining their decision by the need to raise the fishing equipment. After that, the Russian warship fired warning shots to scare the fishermen.

The Norwegian fishermen left the fishing area, and the incident itself prompted a response from the Norwegian Coast Guard, which emphasized that Norwegian ships are not obliged to leave their economic zone due to ongoing training in Russia.

Let’s remember that earlier the Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Agency (DSA) recorded an increase in radiation above normal on the Russian border.

The Barents Observer noted that the source of cesium-137 is unclear. Several nuclear-powered icebreakers operate in the Barents Sea, as well as nuclear-powered submarines, which, on September 16, entered the largest exercise since the Cold War, Ocean 2024. However, a leak of cesium-137 is unlikely to occur in a reactor operating at sea.
