Russian Warship Heading Toward American Destroyers Near Syria


Tensions in the middle east are growing now that the world’s two most prominent superpowers are making moves in Syria. After a U.S. airstrike hit a Syrian airbase yesterday, a Russian warship was spotted heading to the region.

Russian warship has entered the eastern Mediterranean Sea Friday and is heading toward the two U.S. Navy destroyers that launched missile strikes into Syria, Fox News has learned.

The Russian frigate, Admiral Grigorovich RFS-494, crossed through the Bosphorus Strait “a few hours ago” from the Black Sea, according to a U.S. defense official.

The frigate was bound for the Syrian port of Tartus on a routine voyage, the Russian news agency TASS reported Friday, citing a military-diplomatic source.

“The Russian ship armed with cruise missiles Kalibr will visit the logistics base in Tartus, Syria,” the source said.

The Russians don’t seem to be positioning themselves for a retaliatory mission — yet — but all eyes will be on Vladimir Putin to see whether he values his relationship with Assad or Trump more.
