Two Russian subs seen patrolling off US coast

Two Russian nuclear attack submarines have been patrolling off the eastern coast of the United States in a rare move that has alarmed the Pentagon.

One of the two submarines has remained in international waters just 200 miles (320 kilometers) off the coast of New York City, while the second sub left and moved south to make a port call in Cuba, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.

The US government and the military have so far refused to comment on the report.

However, the newspaper, citing Defense Department officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, revealed that Washington is suspicious of Russia's motives behind such an unusual mission.

"Any time the Russian Navy does something so out of the ordinary it is cause for worry," a senior Defense Department official who has been monitoring reports on the submarines' activities said.

The Pentagon, meanwhile, expressed concern about the presence of the subs, but shrugged off the move as Russia just trying to 'show off'.

Defense Department officials declined to speculate on what weapons might be aboard the two submarines, classified as Akula Class nuclear-powered attack submarines, first deployed by the Soviet Navy in 1986.
