A Russian warship reportedly fired warning shots near a British yacht in the English Channel. The UK Ministry of Defence is now investigating this incident, which caused no injuries.
A Russian warship, the Admiral Grigorovich, reportedly fired warning shots near a British yacht. This happened in the English Channel, about 20 miles south of the Isle of Wight.
The shots were said to be fired within 500 meters of the yacht. Thankfully, no one was hurt, and there was no damage to the vessel.
The yacht is continuing its journey safely. A boat from HMS Tyne visited the yacht to check on the crew and gather more details.
This incident happened a few days after the UK took control of a Russian-linked oil tanker near the Isle of Wight. However, defence officials believe these two events are separate.
The Ministry of Defence has confirmed it is investigating these reports. They are working to understand exactly what occurred in the Channel.
