A Russian spy ship is under surveillance just off the northwest coast of the Isle of Man.
Yesterday, a number of people spotted RAF reconnaissance planes circling the Island - they're watching the Yantar, a Russian vessel which has been spotted near undersea infrastructure.
Also watching the ship is HMS Iron Duke, a Type 23 Royal Navy frigate.
It's thought the 107-metre vessel could be monitoring underwater cables.

The vessel switched on AIS briefly this afternoon.
