The U.K.’s Ministry of Defence is investigating claims that a Russian frigate fired at a British yacht in the English Channel. A U.K.-registered yacht reported that the Russian navy frigate, Admiral Grigorovich, fired warning shots south of the Isle of Wight, outside British territorial waters. No injuries or damage have been reported. A military vessel from the U.K. has visited the yacht to gather information and ensure the safety of those onboard.

Just what we needed, a bit of naval charades in the Channel – because who doesn’t love a game of “pass the warning shots” while sailing? 🚤💥 Guess the Russian frigate isn’t aware that “yacht” isn’t just a fancy word for “target practice.”
