The Army is investigating claims British troops in Latvia were involved in brawl as part of a plot by Russia to smear UK forces.
Soldiers have been in the Baltic nation for a two-week training exercise, which comes amid heightened tensions between the West and Russia.
However,
it has been reported that two soldiers with the Grenadier Guards were
targeted with violence by a local gang as they ate at a McDonalds
restaurant in the Latvian capital Riga.
According to the Telegraph, the brawl was captured on camera and when the fighting finished, a Latvian accompanying the two British servicemen followed the film crew and saw them go to a media outlet known to be pro-Russian.
And a source says the reported attack could be have been part of an attempt to portray British troops as hooligans in Russia.
She said: 'We are aware of an incident involving two soldiers in Riga.
'The circumstances are being investigated and it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.'
News of the brawl comes as Britain is sending tanks, drones and 800 troops to neighbouring Estonia as part of the biggest military build-up on Russia's borders since the Cold War.
The soldiers will be sent to the Eastern European country and will be joined by forces from Denmark and France, according to Defence Secretary Michael Fallon.
Meanwhile
earlier this week, the head of MI5 warned that Russia’s increasingly
aggressive behaviour is a threat to the stability of the UK.
Andrew Parker, the director general of the home intelligence service, gave the first interview by a serving spy chief in 107 years, and took aim at Moscow for escalating tensions at a time when the West was fighting Islamist extremists.
He told the Guardian that Russia had plenty of spies still working in Britain but that the difference between today and the Cold War era was that it was also using the weapon of cyber warfare.
Russia was targeting military secrets, industrial projects and economic information, he said.
However, this prompted the Kremlin to hit back and said there was no evidence to support the claims.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: 'Those words to do correspond to the reality.
'We do not agree with them, and claims regarding cyber-attacks we have already commented on.
'No-one has yet given any evidence so we cannot consider claims that are not founded on evidence.
'Until someone produces proof, we will consider those statements unfounded and baseless.'
Russia's plot? Oh, God, Jennifer Newton keeps the readers idiots. Hooligans or not - they'd better stay in the UK, it's more safe. While our soldiers have their drills inside Russia, yours are everywhere.[CN]
俄国的阴谋?哦,我的天,Jennifer Newton当读者是白痴吗?是不是流氓不重要,他们还是留在英国比较安全。我们士兵都是在俄罗斯国内做演习的,你们这些士兵则到处去别的国家(搞演习)

普京自导自演了这场戏。苏尔科夫幕后也操纵了很多年了。他们甚至在俄国建立了敌对的政党以获得普京粉丝的支持。
Why do soldiers do this? I mean, I respect them when they are in their bases and behaving, but they just seem to regularly bring shame and disgrace on themselves, and us by extension, at every opportunity. They should have special prisons just for this kind of idiocy. Shame[CN]
为什么这些士兵要这么做呢?我的意思是,他们留在基地,举止得体,我还是挺尊重他们的,但是他们老是不经意就给他们自己蒙羞,丢尽颜面。我们就每次都收到波及。就该为这种人成立专门的监狱的。真是丢人。
