The helicopter was performing a routine reconnaissance flight, they say in Berlin.

There was an incident in the Baltic Sea between a German military helicopter, which was performing a reconnaissance flight, and a Russian ship. The crew of the Russian ship “fired signal ammunition.” Welt writes about it .

It is noted that the incident became known from the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany, Annalena Berbock, who briefly mentioned it on the sidelines of the NATO meeting in Brussels. She did not provide details, in particular, it is not known when exactly this incident happened.

“The use of signal munitions is widespread only in emergency situations. Burbok noted that there are always ships in the Baltic Sea that participate in the evasion of sanctions due to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine,” writes Welt.

Burbok also said that NATO should strengthen monitoring of the water area near underwater pipelines and communication cables in the Baltic Sea. She cited the increase in hybrid attacks by Russia and its supporters as the reason.
