A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officials stated 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 evening,” the Swedish protection ministry mentioned in a press release, adding that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, before it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It is totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the final safety situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must all the time be revered.”
