Denmark: Denmark has accused a Russian warship of firing two emergency flares at one of its military helicopters as it tracked the vessel in international waters in the Baltic Sea. Denmark has summoned the Russian ambassador, with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen calling the incident “reckless” and saying it was designed to “intimidate and divide”. Russia said it would investigate, but accused Danish helicopters of carrying out “dangerous manoeuvres” near its warships. The incident came on the same day NATO forces shot down a drone over Lithuania, amid heightened tensions on the alliance’s eastern flank. Join EJN:
