Ministry of Defence argues HMS Defender was passing through Ukrainian territory
The UK is denying claims from Russia that "warning shots" were fired at a Royal Navy destroyer which entered its waters in the Black Sea.
Moscow says four bombs were also dropped near the ship by a warplane.
But the Ministry of Defence argues HMS Defender was passing through Ukrainian territory - and that Russian forces were on a "gunnery exercise".
Sky's foreign affairs editor Deborah Haynes says the situation is tense.
