In the Baltic Sea, the Russian ship opened fire on the Bundesver helicopter - the media

During the intelligence flight of the German military helicopter, the crew of the Russian vessel used signaling ammunition, which is permissible only in emergency situations. In the Baltic Sea, the tension between Russia and the Western powers has intensified. During the task, the helicopter of the Bundesver was fired on the side of the Russian ship. This was reported by DPA News Agency. "In the Baltic Sea there was an incident between the Bundesver Helicopter and the Russian ship.

The crew of the Russian ship fired by signaling ammunition. The helicopter was heading for intelligence," the statement said. According to Welt. de, German Minister of Foreign Affairs Annalen Berbok reported an incident in NATO's meeting in Brussels. However, she did not tell the details, as she did not specify the time when it happened.

The minister noted that the use of signaling ammunition is widespread only in emergency situations and noted that there are always ships in the Baltic Sea that are involved in evasion of sanctions through Russia's invaders against Ukraine. She stressed that the monitoring of pipelines and data cables in the Baltic Sea should be strengthened. According to her, it is necessary to expand the protection of critical infrastructure through patrol.

The reason is the increase in hybrid attacks by Russia and its supporters. It should be reminded that on November 28 it was reported that investigators suspected that the crew of the Chinese cargo ship Yi Peng 3 17-18 intentionally cut off the two most important data cables, stretching the anchor with the Baltic Sea. Yi Peng 3 belongs to NingBo Yipeng Shipping, which is based near Ningo port in the east of China.
