Moscow, June 17 /Sinjua/ — In the waters of the English Channel, sailors of the Russian frigate “Admiral Grigorovich” fired a warning shot towards a British vessel approaching them, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported on Tuesday.
“The crew of the frigate “Admiral Grigorovich” in the English Channel discovered the civilian sailing yacht Bright Future under the flag of the United Kingdom, which was following a dangerous course towards approaching the ship. The vessel continued the dangerous approach despite several attempts to establish communication via the international radio channel, launching signal rockets and sound signals. After reducing the distance to 150 meters, the frigate commander decided to carry out warning fire along the course of the vessel from small arms. After this, the yacht immediately changed course,” the agency stated in Max.
