A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials stated on Saturday, because the Scandinavian nation 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 defense ministry said in a press release, adding that its teams had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, earlier than it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It is completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the general security scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must all the time be revered.”
