The UK Ministry of Defence confirmed it is investigating an incident involving a Russian warship in the English Channel, according to Sky News. A UK-registered leisure boat reported that the Russian vessel fired warning shots from about 500 yards, roughly 20 nautical miles south of the Isle of Wight and outside British territorial waters. No injuries or damage were reported. Officials said the event is being treated as a separate incident, noting that the Royal Navy frigate HMS Mersey was monitoring the Russian ship at the time.
