A Russian warship has fired warning shots at a German helicopter carrying out patrols over the Baltic Sea, it has been reported.
According to the German newspaper Bild, the warning shots were fired at the Nato reconnaissance aircraft but this is yet to be confirmed.
German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock mentioned the incident at a Nato meeting but did not give further details.
Former Russian president and prime minister Dmitry Medvedev even declared late last month that Nato and the US is at 'full war' with Russia.
