A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officers mentioned 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 night,” the Swedish protection ministry mentioned in a press release, including that its groups had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated 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 tv SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the general safety situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should all the time be revered.”
