A missile has exploded aboard German frigate FGS Sachsen during military exercises. Two crew members were injured. This has led to three of the German navy’s newest ships being banned from firing their weapons.
Sachsen was taking part in live firing exercises off the Norwegian coast. The 15ft SM-2 missile was stuck in its launcher after a similar rocket had fired successfully.
Mrs Merkel has been under pressure from the White House to meet the Nato defence spending target of 2 per cent of GDP.
