A retired British couple, Jane and Alan Kelvey, say a Russian warship fired warning shots near their yacht in the English Channel. The couple report that they were travelling on a route towards northern France when they encountered the vessel. They describe the moment as “scary” and say they disputed Russian assertions that their yacht was on a collision course with the warship. According to the couple, they do not accept the Russian account and characterize it as untrue. Multiple outlets repeat the couple’s account, describing the incident as involving warning shots rather than a direct attack. The reports indicate the Kelveys believe the circumstances were misrepresented by the other side, and they present their own version of events surrounding the confrontation. The available coverage focuses on the couple’s statements rather than providing an independently verified account of the ship’s positioning or the precise sequence of events.
