A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officers 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 stated in a press release, including that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, earlier than it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It's totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the overall security state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must at all times be respected.”
