• Nato forces chased away Russian ships in Arctic waters that were training to attack undersea cables with a secret sabotage weapon deployed by submersible craft, Reuters has reported, citing western officials.(据路透社援引西方官员报道，北约部队在北极水域驱离了正在演练使用一种由潜航器部署的秘密破坏武器攻击海底电缆的俄罗斯舰船。) Reuters said its sources declined to detail how the technology works. The confrontation(对峙，冲突) took place near the remote Svalbard archipelago(斯瓦尔巴群岛，北极战略要地). British and Norwegian officials took their findings to Moscow to show they were aware of the new technology. CIA director John Ratcliffe’s visit to Moscow in August was partly to warn Russia against escalating(升级，加剧) sabotage operations in Europe, Reuters said, citing two people familiar with the matter. The US has not publicly explained Ratcliffe’s trip.
