A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officers mentioned 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 night,” the Swedish defense ministry stated in a press release, adding that its groups had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, before it headed towards 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 general safety scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must all the time be revered.”
