A Russian warship fired warning shots at a UK-registered yacht in the English Channel on Sunday. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak described the incident as “reckless” but downplayed suggestions it was a particularly sinister act. The yacht was sailing in international waters when the Russian vessel intervened, prompting the shots to be fired. The Ministry of Defence is investigating the event, and the UK has summoned the Russian ambassador to explain the actions. No injuries were reported, and the yacht continued on its journey. The incident occurred amidst heightened tensions between the UK and Russia due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
