LONDON — The U.K.’s Ministry of Defence is investigating reports that a Russian frigate fired shots at a British yacht in the English Channel.
On Tuesday a U.K.-registered yacht alleged that a Russian navy frigate — the Admiral Grigorovich — fired warning shots south of the Isle of Wight, outside Britain’s territorial waters, defense officials said.
No injuries or damage have been reported, and a military vessel dispatched from the U.K. has visited the yacht to gather details and check that those onboard are safe.
