Russia's foreign ministry said it delivered a stern protest to Britain's ambassador to Moscow on Thursday over what it described as the "dangerous and provocative actions" of a British warship in the Black Sea.

In a statement, the foreign ministry said it told the envoy, Deborah Bronnert, that Britain would be fully responsible for any consequences if a similar incident happens again.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov warned Britain that Russia would bomb British naval vessels in the Black Sea if there are any further provocative actions by the British navy off the coast of Crimea, a Russian media outlet reported.
