A Russian reconnaissance airplane 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 plane violated Swedish airspace on Friday evening,” the Swedish protection ministry mentioned in a press release, adding that its groups had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry said the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, earlier than it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It is completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the overall security scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must at all times be revered.”
