Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen said on the 15th that Denmark had summoned the Russian ambassador to Denmark to protest against Russian frigates firing flares at Danish military helicopters on the 14th. Rasmussen said in a written statement on the same day that Russia's act was “unacceptable” and could endanger the lives of people. The Danish military said the incident occurred on the 14th. A “Big Eared Fox” helicopter of the Danish Air Force filmed a Russian frigate over international waters near southern Denmark. The Russian ship fired two flares at the helicopter, one of which flew near the helicopter. The Russian side has yet to respond to this matter.
