Russia unveiled on 13 December 2015 that one of its warships had fired warning shots at a Turkish fishing boat in the Aegean Sea to avoid a collision. According to a statement for the defence ministry, a Turkish vessel approached to 600m before turning away in response to Russian small arms fire. The Turkish military attache in Moscow was summoned to the foreign ministry over the incident. The captain of the Turkish boat said he was unaware that his vessel had been shot at. Relations remain tense between the two countries since Turkey's shooting down of a Russian warplane. |
