A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officials mentioned on Saturday, as the Scandinavian country ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller aircraft violated Swedish airspace on Friday evening,” the Swedish defense ministry said in a statement, adding that its groups had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, before it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It is totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the overall safety scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must always be revered.”
