The Russian bomber carried out warning bombing.
The ship “Defender” left the “territorial sea of the Russian Federation” after that, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
The destroyer was previously warned about the use of weapons in case of violation of the state border of the Russian Federation.
“I did not react to the warning,” the Russian Defense Ministry said.
Note that Cape Fiolent is located on the Heracles Peninsula in the southwestern part of the Crimea occupied by Russia, in the Balaklava region of Sevastopol.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation said that the bombers used four high-explosive fragmentation bombs to suppress the actions of a British ship.
The British military attaché has been urgently summoned to the Russian Defense Ministry in connection with the incident with a destroyer in the Black Sea.
Updated: Russian-controlled “Crimean authorities” called the incident with the British destroyer a provocation and an attempt to check Russia “for a tooth”. This was stated by the “first vice-speaker of the State Council” of the peninsula.
