The ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia seems to have spilled elsewhere too.
A Ukrainian sailor made a failed attempt to sink a luxury yacht owned by his Russian boss Alexander Mijeev, who is the CEO of Rosoboronexport. The 55-year-old sailor was arrested on Saturday.
To sink the 156-foot vessel by flooding, Taras Ostapchuk, a ship engineer, reportedly opened valves in the engine room.
The yacht is estimated to be worth a whopping $7.7 million, as per The New York Post.
The incident happened when the yacht, Lady Anastasia, was docked at Mallorca in Spain, reported BBC.
