Germany summons Chinas ambassador after a plane is lasered over Red Sea

Germany summoned China's ambassador after a Chinese warship lasered a German surveillance aircraft in the Red Sea. The aircraft, part of the EU's Aspides mission protecting civilian ships from Houthi rebels, aborted its mission as a precaution. Germany condemned the act as endangering personnel and disrupting operations. The Houthis also attacked a cargo ship, escalating Red Sea tensions.
