The UK Ministry of Defence is investigating reports that a Russian warship fired warning shots near a British yacht in the English Channel.

No injuries or damage to the yacht were reported. British naval ship HMS Mersey was monitoring the Russian vessel at the time. This event follows the UK's boarding of a tanker suspected of belonging to Russia's "shadow fleet" days earlier. Experts suggest Russian warships patrol the Channel to deter such actions. The shadow fleet is reportedly used by Russia to circumvent sanctions.
