A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officers mentioned on Saturday, as the Scandinavian country 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 protection ministry stated in a statement, adding that its groups had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the aircraft was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, earlier than 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 general safety scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must all the time be respected.”
