Video shows a Russian naval ship 'aggressively approached' a US Navy destroyer in the North Arabian Sea on Thursday, the US Navy says in a statement Friday.
The"Farragut sounded five short blasts, the international maritime signal for danger of a collision, and requested the Russian ship alter course in accordance with international rules of the road," the Navy statement continued.
"The Russian ship initially refused but ultimately altered course and the two ships opened distance from one another. 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 U.S. Navy continues to remain vigilant and is trained to act in a professional manner.
The Chancellorsville had to"execute all engines back full and to maneuver to avoid collision," according to the U.S. 7th Fleet. The Russian military accused the Chancellorsville of suddenly changing course and crossing into the path of their ship, named the Admiral Vinogradov.
