Russian warship fires flares at Danish helicopter; NATO jets down drone over Lithuania
A Russian warship discharged flares near a Danish military helicopter in the Baltic Sea while NATO aircraft shot down a drone over Lithuania in separate incidents on the alliance's eastern border.
A Russian warship fired two emergency flares at a Danish helicopter operating in the Baltic Sea, prompting Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to condemn what she called a "reckless action from Russia towards Denmark's military." The incidents occurred as NATO fighter jets shot down a drone that violated Lithuanian airspace.
Poland also scrambled fighter jets in response to Russian unmanned aerial vehicles conducting strikes on Ukrainian territory, the day after Polish forces recovered a suspected Russian drone from its waters. The incidents represent the latest in a series of security confrontations along NATO's eastern flank amid Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine.
