Prime Minister Keir Starmer has confirmed that British Royal Marine Commandos boarded and took over a Russian shadow fleet vessel that was sailing through the English Channel.

The Commandos took over the Russian oil tanker Smyrtos and brought it to anchor off England's southern coast. One crew member has been arrested and the rest have been questioned.

Tensions between Britain and Russia continue to grow as Russia continues her war against Britain's close ally Ukraine.

The British are growing increasingly suspicious at Russian shipping off the British coast and suspect some Russian ships are trying to map out British undersea cables.

In what looks like scene from a James Bond movie the men tasked with protecting Britain's borders from foreign aggressors are see boarding the ship and searching it...
