Filing one of its regular updates via its Twitter feed, NBS said it had identified a Russian 'Kilo' class submarine and the now-familiar tugboat 'Viktor Konetsky' within Latvia's exclusive economic zone, 15 nautical miles (28 kilometers) from Latvia's sea border.
Tugboats typically act as support ships for submarines.
