Russian frigate fires flares at NATO member Denmark's military helicopter in international waters
Denmark will summon Russia's Copenhagen ambassador to a meeting over the incident, Defence Minister Jeppe Bruus separately told broadcaster TV2.
A Russian frigate fired two flares at a Danish military helicopter in international waters off Denmark's coast on Monday. The helicopter was on a routine photographic mission of the frigate. Denmark plans to summon Russia's ambassador regarding the incident. This event follows other recent interactions between NATO and Russian forces, including NATO fighter jets shooting down a drone that entered Lithuanian airspace from Belarus on Tuesday. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda stated, "A drone that just entered Lithuanian airspace was destroyed by NATO fighter jets." Additionally, on September 10, NATO allies reportedly tracked and confronted Russian submersibles training to disable undersea cables.
