A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officials stated on Saturday, because the Scandinavian country ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller aircraft violated Swedish airspace on Friday night,” the Swedish protection ministry mentioned in a statement, adding that its teams had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, before it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It's totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the general security scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must always be respected.”
