A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense 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 airplane violated Swedish airspace on Friday evening,” the Swedish defense ministry stated in an announcement, adding that its teams had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, earlier than it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It is totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the overall security scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should all the time be revered.”
