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