A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officials 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 defense ministry mentioned in an announcement, including that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, before it headed towards 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 overall safety scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should always be respected.”
