Estonian military mistakenly fired at British soldiers in Mali
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[NewsFrontInfo] Estonian soldiers serving at the Gao military base in Mali mistakenly opened fire on British soldiers.
These things do happen from time to time, and everyone is unhappy about it afterward.
It is noted that the British military did not follow the security procedures when approaching the base. No one was injured during the incident, according to Postimees.

"The shooting incident occurred when a minibus carrying British troops approached the military base. Estonian soldiers guarding the base opened fire on the car, as the British did not inform the base personnel of their approach in accordance with the rules," the message said.

This information was confirmed by the head of the press service of the Estonian defense forces Taavi Karotamm. According to him, the country's soldiers have faithfully complied with all the rules stipulated by the procedure.
