Terrifying moment Russian navy board cargo ship in Black Sea after refusing to stop

Russia on Tuesday (August 15) released video footage showing an armed naval inspection unit boarding a cargo ship in the southwestern Black Sea on Sunday and questioning the captain about why the ship had not stopped when demanded to do so by a Russian warship.

Russia said on Sunday (August 13) that it fired warning shots with automatic weapons at the Palau-flagged Sukru Okan vessel after it failed to respond to a demand for it to halt, though it was unclear why the ship was boarded so close to Turkey.
