Denmark summoned Russia’s ambassador after a Russian warship fired two emergency flares at a Danish military helicopter during what Copenhagen described as a routine monitoring flight over the Baltic Sea. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called the action reckless, while Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said the frigate’s conduct was completely unacceptable amid worsening security tensions in Europe.
