# A Russian warship fired warning shots at a UK-registered yacht in the English Channel yesterday. Retired British couple, Jane and Alan Kelvey, were sailing the yacht named Bright Future at the time of the incident. Russia’s Defence Ministry says the yacht had been on a dangerous approach towards the warship. This comes after Royal Marine Commandos intercepted a Russian shadow fleet tanker carrying sanctioned oil in the Channel on Sunday. UK Shadow Defence Secretary James Cartlidge says this incident shows that Russia poses a direct threat to the country.
