The HQ of @NORADCommand and @USNorthernCmd are closely monitoring the Russian submarine that surfaced near Alaska today. We closely track vessels of interest, including foreign military naval vessels, in our area of responsibility.
@USNorthernCmd is responsible for the homeland defense of the United States and has a designated area of responsibility that includes North America and its adjacent waters.
The current Russian maritime activity is taking place in international waters well outside the U.S. territorial sea. We have not received any requests for assistance from the Russian Navy or other mariners in the area.
