1. Submission statement:

   Germany has formally accused China of targeting a German military aircraft with a laser in the Red Sea region during an EU naval mission aimed at securing international shipping routes. The incident, described by Berlin as “unacceptable,” prompted Germany to summon the Chinese ambassador for an official explanation. The alleged laser attack, which risked the safety of the crew by potentially blinding the pilot, underscores growing tensions over China’s assertive activities in sensitive maritime zones. While Beijing has not publicly commented on the matter, the incident adds to concerns about the militarization of strategic waterways and challenges to international norms.
