A Russian reconnaissance airplane 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 airplane violated Swedish airspace on Friday evening,” the Swedish protection ministry said in a statement, adding that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, earlier than it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It's completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the general safety state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must all the time be revered.”
