A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials stated on Saturday, as the Scandinavian country 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 said in a statement, adding that its teams had adopted 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 television SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the general security situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must at all times be revered.”
