More than a week ago, Germany's Bundeswehr reported that a Russian warship in the Baltic Sea fired signal flares at a German military helicopter conducting a reconnaissance mission. The incident involved the Russian vessel firing warning shots as the German helicopter was patrolling to protect critical infrastructure. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock disclosed the event during a NATO meeting in Brussels but did not provide further details. The incident has raised concerns over escalating tensions between Russia and Western nations in the Baltic Sea region.
