A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officers stated on Saturday, as 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 evening,” the Swedish defense ministry mentioned in a statement, adding that its teams had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry said the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, earlier than it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It's completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the overall safety situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must always be revered.”
