Russian Frigate Fires Warning Shots Near UK Yacht

A Russian frigate fired warning shots at a UK-flagged yacht amid a tense maritime standoff, claiming the yacht was on a collision course despite failed radio contact. While Russia reported the ships were just 150 meters apart, insiders say it was closer to 457 meters — but the yacht did veer away. The UK confirmed the shots were meant to avoid collision. This incident follows a separate British commando operation that intercepted a Russian tanker for disrupting Ukraine war funding. Russia insists its crew followed international rules, while a Royal Navy vessel monitored the situation and assisted the yacht’s crew. Tensions simmer on the high seas as naval operations escalate.
