A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection 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 plane violated Swedish airspace on Friday evening,” the Swedish protection ministry stated in a press release, including that its groups had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the aircraft was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, before it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It is completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the final security state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must at all times be respected.”
