A Russian frigate fired signal flares at a Danish military helicopter near Gedser, Denmark, on September 14, narrowly missing the aircraft, according to Ukrainska Pravda. The incident adds to a series of tense encounters between Russian forces and NATO member states' military assets. NATO subsequently condemned the incident, calling Russia's firing of signal flares at the Danish helicopter an 'irresponsible act.' The alliance's statement underscores growing concern over escalating friction between Russian forces and NATO members near the Baltic region.
