^ Here is what happened
(from an article the day after)
Quote:
A Russian corvette violated Danish territory twice during the night on Bornholm, where this year's People's Assembly is taking place.
At 02:30 last night, a Russian corvette violated Danish territory north of Christiansø, off Bornholm. A few hours later, the same corvette again crossed the border into Danish territory - again off Christiansø.
This is stated in a press release.
The Russian ship left Danish territorial waters after a call on civilian VHF radio from the Naval Maritime Operations Unit.
It happens just at the same time as the political Denmark is gathered on Bornholm for Peoples meetings.
Foreign Minister: - Completely unacceptable
Denmark's Foreign Minister, Jeppe Kofod (S), calls it a gross and completely unacceptable Russian provocation and bullying method in the middle of the Danish People's Meeting.
And the fact that it happened while the Danes are gathered for a democracy demonstration adds extra pressure to the provocation, says Kofod.
- With the invasion of Ukraine, Putin is democracy's enemy number one, and he illustrates that in the finest way here, he says to TV 2 and adds:
- It says everything about Russia, but also everything about the fact that we as a strong democracy do not allow ourselves to be provoked.
He says the Russian ambassador has been summoned to the Foreign Ministry.

Not in any situation did Denmark or Russia fire shots against the other.
Don't know why this exaggeration
