A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officers said on Saturday, as the Scandinavian nation ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller aircraft violated Swedish airspace on Friday evening,” the Swedish protection 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 toward Swedish territory.
“It's completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the final safety situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should all the time be revered.”
