Missile ‘error’
It probably was human error and not a malfunction that caused a live harpoon missile to fire from a Danish frigate on its way to join N.A.T.O. exercises in the North Sea. a defence spokesman says. The. U.S.-made missile was launched accidentally from the frigate Peder Skram .on September 6. Its live warhead exploded in a beach house community on the main Danish island of Zealand.- Eight beach houses were destroyed and scores were damaged.—Copenhagen.
