## Resource

A British yacht had a hair-raising brush with a Russian warship in the English Channel, after warning shots were fired—though no one was hurt. The yacht owners called it “a bit scary,” while Russia claimed they tried to warn the vessel to change course before firing into the air. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the incident “deeply concerning,” noting British defense assessed it as a near-miss, not a threat—but underscored Russia’s broader aggressive behavior. The event follows Britain’s seizure of a Russian tanker and accusations of Russian sabotage campaigns, highlighting rising tensions between the UK and Russia amid ongoing geopolitical friction.
