Russia attacked the ship after Britain violated its territorial waters.
According to foreign media, the British warship HMS Defender in the Red Sea violated the maritime boundaries and approached the Russian borders.
Russia's Defense Ministry says a British ship was warned for violating maritime boundaries but ignored it, prompting a Russian patrol to fire warning shots. In addition, four bombs were dropped near a British ship by the Sukhoi 24 fighter jet, after which the British ship left Russian territory.
Britain has denied Russia's allegations, saying no such attack took place. The statement added that HMS Defender had crossed the border into Ukraine in accordance with international law but had not been fired upon.
