British couple Jane and Alan Kelvey say the UK Ministry of Defence has tried to water down or “shut down” their account after their yacht was reportedly targeted by warning shots fired from a Russian ship in the English Channel. The couple, aged 71 and 70, describe the incident as involving a Russian warship that fired warning shots while they were sailing near the UK. According to their claims, the couple believe the MoD is seeking to reduce the emphasis of their story, describing the efforts as an attempt to prevent details from becoming public and saying they fear the account could be treated as “inflammatory.” Both outlets report that the couple publicly raised concerns about how their testimony was handled after the incident. The articles focus on the couple’s allegations about the MoD’s response, rather than providing additional information from officials about the steps taken or the precise circumstances of the encounter. The reports present the claims as accusations made by the couple following the maritime incident.
