Russian border patrol boats fired warning shots to prevent Russian border crossings from the British destroyer HMS Defender near Crimea, according to a Russian Defence Ministry statement a while ago.
“A border guard boat fired warning shots at 12:06 and 12:08,” the ministry said in a statement.
According to the Ministry, the British warship was warned that if it does not change course it will come under fire. According to the same announcement, the British ship “did not react to the warning”.
Reuters also reports that a Russian Su-24M fighter jet also fired warning shots at the British ship.
The HMS Defender left Russian waters shortly after the incident, which it had entered by 3 kilometers (2 miles), the Russian ministry said, adding that the confrontation took place near Cape Fiolent off the coast of Crimea.
The British Defence Attaché of the British Embassy in Moscow was summoned to the Russian Ministry of Defence over the incident in the Black Sea, the Russian Ministry said.
