A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection 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 evening,” the Swedish defense ministry stated in a statement, adding that its groups had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, before it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It's totally 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 should all the time be revered.”
