A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officials mentioned on Saturday, as 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, including 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 toward Swedish territory.
“It's totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the general safety situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should all the time be respected.”
