Germany Protests China Warship Lasers Surveillance Plane

Germany is not happy with China. They called the Chinese ambassador to talk about it. This is because of something that happened in the Red Sea.

A Chinese ship used a laser on a German plane. The plane was helping protect ships from Yemen. The German Ministry of Defense said it happened without a reason.

The ministry said the laser could hurt people. It could also damage important things. A spokesperson said using the laser was risky.

The German plane stopped its work to be safe. It landed in Djibouti, and everyone is okay. Now, the plane is working again with the EU mission.

Germany said it is not okay to put people in danger. They also said stopping the work is not acceptable. The EU mission only helps civilian ships and does not fight.
