Warning shots in the English Channel

172

A ship incident happened on Tuesday morning. A Russian warship fired warning shots. The shots fell near a British yacht. The ship name is Admiral Grigorowitsch. It is a heavy warship. This ship is a Fregatte.

The yacht name is Bright Future. An old couple was on board. There was thick fog. The view was bad. The Russian ship wanted to stop a Kollision. A Kollision means two ships hit each other.

Russia says: The yacht drove a dangerous path. The warship crew gave signs. The yacht did not react. The soldiers fired shots in the air. The yacht changed its path after that.

The couple sees it differently. They say: We were not on a collision course. The shots were not needed. No one got hurt. The ship has no damage. British experts checked the safety of the crew.

The incident happened in internationalen Gew'assern. That is far from the coast. Experts say: This is a rare case. There is much trouble between London and Moscow. The British navy stopped a Russian oil ship lately.
