Germany accuses China of targeting aircraft with laser over Red Sea

"Germany has summoned the Chinese ambassador to Berlin on Tuesday after accusing the

Chinese Navy of using a laser to target a German surveillance aircraft over the Red Sea.
The aircraft participated in an EU maritime security mission in the region. The incident occurred on July 2 and allegedly involved a Chinese frigate operating near the Yemeni coast.
According to a spokesperson for Germany’s Defense Ministry, the aircraft was conducting a routine surveillance mission as part of the EU’s ASPIDES operation, a maritime security initiative launched in early 2024 to safeguard commercial shipping in the Red Sea from attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels." msn
