For shipping, Russia reopens Kerch Strait

Russia has reopened the Kerch Strait near Crimea to shipping after it seized three Ukrainian naval ships nearby. Russia earlier blocked the strait off the coast of Crimea on Sunday, and seized two small Ukrainian armored artillery vessels and a tug boat. According to Russia's top security agency, the Ukrainian ships breached the border. Weapons were used to force the ships to stop when they allegedly attempted to conduct more illegal actions. CGTN correspondent Julia Chapman is in Moscow with the latest news.
