The Barents Sea Incident is the name given to a incident involving naval forces of the Kingdom of Norway and the Russian Federation in the Barents Sea 25 km northwest of Nordkapp, and 3 km from Norwegian territorial waters. In the early hours of September 5, 2010, the Russian Navy corvettes MPK 203 Yunga and the Norwegian Coast Guard vessel KV Nordkapp engaged each other in the Barents Sea. While it is still today unclear who initiated the engagement, the two sides were later reinforced by the corvettes MPK 113 and MPK 130 Nar'yan-Mar and the patrol boat P960 Skjold of the Norwegian Navy. The engagement resulted in the sinking of the corvette MPK 113 and the coast guard vessel KV Nordkapp.
