Keir Starmer has described the firing of warning shots by a Russian warship at a British yacht sailing across the English Channel on Tuesday as 'deeply concerning and reckless'.
What Happened?
Russia's defence ministry stated that the yacht was on a 'dangerous course' and that several attempts were made to contact it. However, this claim is disputed by the retired couple who were aboard the 40-foot yacht.
Reactions and Analysis
In a discussion with the Guardian's defence and security editor, Dan Sabbagh, Nosheen Iqbal explores the implications of this incident. The event raises questions about maritime safety and international tensions.
