Russian convoy intercepted by Spanish Navy

The 'Centinela-P 72' has monitored a convoy formed by the Russian frigate 'Admiral Grigorovich' and the cargo ships 'Sparta IV' and 'Ursa Mayor' and the oil tanker 'Yaz' on their way from Algeria through the Alboran Sea to the Strait of Gibraltar from March 10 to 16, 2024. The Russian warship was closely followed by the Navy patrol vessel off the coast of Almería. The Russian warship was intercepted on the northern border between Algerian and Spanish waters and was uninterrupted monitored until the frigate left the waters in the direction of the Atlantic. As soon as it became aware of the Russian presence on the border with Algeria, the patrol vessel, as part of its maritime surveillance and security mission, repositioned itself heading towards the Strait to permanently track and monitor the Russian frigate and merchant ships.
