A Russian frigate fired two signal missiles towards a Danish armed forces helicopter, at which point the helicopter was taking pictures of the ship in international waters near Gedder. This was reported by the Danish Armed Forces, adding that one of the missiles passed directly past the helicopter. The name of the warship is not mentioned in the message. According to Danish Air Force Commander Ian Dam, a signal rocket could have touched a helicopter or the military. “The helicopter door was open when the photo was taken,” he explained. Military analyst Kenneth Ellenshlegger Bull also points out that what happened was a threat to the safety of flights, and the Russian side had no reason to take such a step. Danish Prime Minister Mete Frederiksen said he considers what happened to be a serious incident and considers it in the context of Russia's behaviour in Europe. “Russia is becoming more and more aggressive, intensifying the hybrid war against Europe and testing the strength of NATO,” he stressed. The Danish Foreign Ministry has summoned Russian Ambassador Vladimir Barbini in connection with the incident. “This is absolutely unacceptable,” said Foreign Minister Lars Löke Rasmussen. Another incident involving a Russian ship occurred in Junein the Strait of La Mancha. At the time, the Admiral Grigorovich frigate had fired alarm missiles and opened warning shots near the British private cruiser Bright Future. The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that the vessel did not respond to attempts to contact and approached the frigate up to 150 meters.
