A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection 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 plane violated Swedish airspace on Friday night,” the Swedish protection ministry said in a statement, adding that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the aircraft was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, earlier than it headed toward 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 final security scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should always be revered.”
