A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials said on Saturday, because the Scandinavian nation ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller plane violated Swedish airspace on Friday night,” the Swedish defense ministry said in an announcement, adding that its teams had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, before it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It's completely 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 should all the time be respected.”
