A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officials said on Saturday, as the Scandinavian country ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller plane violated Swedish airspace on Friday evening,” the Swedish protection ministry mentioned in a press release, adding that its groups had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, before it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It's totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the final security state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should all the time be respected.”
