MOSCOW The environmentalist group Greenpeace says two of its activists have been arrested after climbing onto an oil platform in Russia's Arctic waters. It claims warning shots were fired across the organization's ship.
A Greenpeace statement says the arrests were made Wednesday in the Pechora Sea, a section of the Barents Sea. The activists, who climbed a platform belonging to state gas company Gazprom, are being held on a Russian Coast Guard ship, according to Greenpeace.
The statement said the Coast Guard fired 11 shots across the Greenpeace ship that brought activists to the area.
A spokeswoman for the Federal Security Service, which includes the Coast Guard, said she had no immediate information on the incident.

Too bad the Russian Coast Guard cant aim better.
Once again, like with zer0, Vlad knows how to deal with @$$holes.
I hope they execute the bastards!!
Feed them to the polar bears.
I'm waiting for the Russians to sink a Greenpeace ship, just to make a point.

The Russians are probably trying to keep a low profile and not inflame the situation elsewhere. But here’s a video of when they felt they could get away with killing bad guys. As I recall the story, they captured the pirates, then let them go and sank the pirate ship and then machine-gunned the survivors. (I think this is how pirates should be treated. That is how they’ve always been treated. Then, we got compassionate and, let’s face it, self destructive.)
Sea hippies messing with Russians. Fun to watch.
Corrected.
You are on their property and committing an act of War. Idiots... these are not Japanese fishermen. Don’t try it on the chicoms... there will be no prisoners taken.
Kudos to the Russkies!
Heh, heh, heh... unlike American softies, the Russians don’t fiddle around with these clowns.
They should have sunk it.....
If I were Green Peace, I would think twice about attacking Russian oil interests in a ship. The “Three S” policy works great there. (Shoot, Sink, and Shut up.)
Russians dont fiddle around with these clowns.
Unfortunately they kind of did.
It’s the arctic. Just use a water hose on them. Greenpeacicles.
What with the cost of ammunition, warning shots are surprising.
FEED THEM TO THE POLAR BEARS? Are you nuts? Please explain just what it is that makes you hate POLAR BEARS.
A statement like yours will bring the zealots of PETA down on you big time.
I’d let those pirates go. I’m sure they’d be quite comfortable on an ice floe heading north.
The Frenchies did...
