COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark’s military says a Russian warship has violated its territorial waters. The Defense Command of the Danish armed forces says a Russian corvette entered Danish waters twice in the early hours of Friday near the Baltic Sea island of Christiansoe. In a statement, the Defense Command said the Russian vessel left after it was contacted on marine two-way radio by the Danish navy. Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod said Denmark summoned the Russian ambassador to protest the incident. Both Sweden and Denmark have reported airspace violations by Russian aircraft following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
