A British couple had a scary day. A Russian warship fired shots near their boat. They were sailing from England to France. They saw the big ship. Then they heard shots. The husband turned the boat away.
The two sides do not agree. The couple say they did nothing wrong. They used their sails, not the engine. But Russia says the boat moved at the ship.
The story became big news in Britain. A British navy ship helped the couple. They sailed on to France. We don't want world war three, the woman said. The British leader called Russia reckless.
