Russian warship reportedly fires warning shots at yacht in the English Channel
A Russian warship fired warning shots at a yacht that approached it in the English Channel, the strait between the coasts of England and northern France, according to the British news agency PA. The incident took place in the morning.
The vessel was likely the Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovich. The British Ministry of Defence confirmed the episode, saying, "We are investigating reports of an incident in the Channel."
The report comes amid rising tension between Britain and Russia. On Sunday, British forces boarded, for the first time, a Russian shadow fleet tanker in the Channel.
