A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection 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 aircraft violated Swedish airspace on Friday night,” the Swedish defense ministry mentioned in an announcement, including that its teams had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the aircraft was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, earlier than it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It is totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the general security state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must all the time be revered.”
