China attacked a laser aircraft Bundeswehr's reconnaissance-German Foreign Ministry

To spread: Chinese military attacked a laser aircraft of the Bundesver, which is involved in surgery to protect ships in the Red Sea from Hussites. It is known that the plane was flying to the jibuta. The Chinese ambassador to Germany Dan Hunbo was called to the Foreign Ministry on July 8. This was reported by the German Foreign Ministry. "The threat of German staff and the breakdown of the operation is absolutely unacceptable," the German department said.

When the incident occurred and what were the consequences, the ministry is not told. The attack happened against the backdrop of China's concern on critical technologies and security infrastructure in Europe, Newsweek said. The plane was flying in Jibuti, an Eastern African country that has become a place of delivery of cargoes for military member states in Africa. Tagesschau writes that the incident happened in early July, when the German aircraft was carrying out a reconnaissance flight.

"A laser from a Chinese warship was sent to the plane. A laser illumination is considered to be at least a threatening gesture in the army," journalists said. The ASPIDES mission is an EU military mission to maintain the security and protection of free navigation in the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean. The operation began in February 2024 in order to protect civilian vessels from attacks of Yemeni Husites, up to 700 German soldiers participate in it.
