The incident comes days after the UK intercepted a Russian shadow fleet vessel
A UK-registered yacht in the Channel just outside British waters has reported “warning shots” were fired near it by a Russian warship, a British defence source told AFP Tuesday.
The incident was understood to have taken place about 20 nautical miles south of the Isle of Wight and came just days after UK commandos intercepted and boarded a suspected Russian shadow fleet vessel nearby.
Asked about the reported warning shots, a Ministry of Defence spokesperson said: “We are investigating reports of an incident in the Channel.”
