Journalist Reports Aboard British Warship During UK-Russia Naval Incident

BBC reporter Jonathan Beale was aboard the HMS Defender during an incident the British Navy initially denied took place and the Russian Ministry of defense claimed they fired warning shots in an attempt to make the UK warship deviate course.


According to the BBC report, more than 20 Russian aircraft and two Russian Coast Guard ships harassed the HMS Defender as it traversed through water internationally recognized as Ukrainian territory. However, since Russia's 2014 annexation of the Crimean peninsula, the Russian Federation now claims it as their territory.
