Denmark temporarily closed the Great Belt strait due to a faulty missile launcher on a navy ship.

Denmark has closed the Great Belt strait, a vital shipping route to the Baltic Sea, due to a faulty missile launcher on a navy ship. The missile launcher, which could not be deactivated, posed a risk of missile fragments falling in the area. A naval exercise was underway in the area at the time, and the Great Belt bridge remains open to traffic. Specialists are en route to address the issue.
