BBC journalist reports from British warship as Russia “fires warning shots”

 

Tensions have escalated sharply between Russia and the United Kingdom, on the seas off the coast of Crimea. More than 20 Russian aircraft and two coastguard ships were shadowing a British warship, HMS Defender, when the Russians claim they've fired warning shots and dropped bombs in the path of the British ship, accusing it of violating Russian territorial waters. The British deny that account.
