A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials stated on Saturday, because the Scandinavian nation ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller airplane violated Swedish airspace on Friday evening,” the Swedish protection ministry stated in a statement, including that its teams had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry said the aircraft was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, earlier than it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It's totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the general security scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should at all times be respected.”
