A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials mentioned on Saturday, because the Scandinavian nation ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller airplane violated Swedish airspace on Friday night,” the Swedish protection ministry stated in an announcement, adding that its groups had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry said the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, earlier than it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It is totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the general security scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should always be respected.”
