Russian warship fires warning shots at UK yacht in English Channel

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A Russian warship, the Admiral Grigorovich, reportedly fired warning shots at a UK-registered yacht in the English Channel. The incident occurred approximately 20 nautical miles south of the Isle of Wight, outside of UK territorial waters. Britain's Ministry of Defence is investigating the reports, and no injuries or damage to the yacht were reported. This event follows a recent operation where British commandos intercepted a sanctioned Russian oil tanker in the same area. AI
