A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officers said on Saturday, as 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 night,” the Swedish protection ministry mentioned in an announcement, adding 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, earlier than it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It is completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the overall security state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should at all times be respected.”
