The action of 28 July 1644 occurred in Ystad harbor during the Torstenson War between the Swedish Lodja fleet and a Danish fleet of 11 ships. After the Torstenson War broke out in 1643 between Denmark and Sweden, a Swedish army under Gustav Horn invaded Scania, and after a force under Hans Wachtmeister secured the region in and around Ystad, the Swedish Lodja fleet under Henrik Hansson anchored in Ystad in July 1644. He remained in Ystad due to spotting Danish ships sailing outside the town. On 28 July, a Danish fleet flying Swedish colors arrived off Ystad, sailing into the harbor. Hansson noticed that its flagship also carried a red flag, and soon notified the commander of the blockhouse guarding the entrance to the harbor that the ships were Danish. As the Danish ships started to anchor, the Swedes opened fire, causing heavy damage to several ships which forced the Danish fleet to withdraw.
