There was trouble in the English Channel. A Russian war ship fired warning shots. The target was a small yacht. The yacht is from Great Britain. A married couple was on the boat. Both are over 60 years old. There was thick fog on the water. The yacht moved towards the war ship. The yacht had no engine. The sailors on the Russian ship felt afraid. They shot guns into the water. No one got hurt in this event. The war ship has the name Admiral Grigorowitsch. British ships watch this ship for a long time.
There was another event in the English Channel. Soldiers from Great Britain entered an oil tanker. This happened on Sunday. The tanker belongs to the Russian shadow fleet. It had 98.000 tons of oil on board. The army arrested the captain. His name is Ajay Pant. He is from India. A court checks his actions now. He did not follow important rules. He must not deliver Russian oil to other countries. This is forbidden. The captain says: He only followed orders.
The British government wants to stop Russia. Russia earns much money with oil. Russia pays for the war in Ukraine with this money. The mission against the tanker was new. Soldiers came with a helicopter. They climbed down on the ship at night. The tanker had no valid flag. Now the ship stays near the coast. The 24 men of the crew must stay on board. The police guards the captain in prison.
