A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officers stated on Saturday, as 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 said in a statement, 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 toward Swedish territory.
“It is totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the final safety scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must always be respected.”
