A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officials said on Saturday, because 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 night,” the Swedish protection ministry mentioned in a press release, adding that its groups had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, before it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It is completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the final security state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must at all times be respected.”
