A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials said on Saturday, because the Scandinavian country ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller plane violated Swedish airspace on Friday night,” the Swedish protection ministry said in a press release, adding that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the aircraft was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, before it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It is completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the overall safety situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should all the time be respected.”
