A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officers stated on Saturday, because the Scandinavian nation ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller plane violated Swedish airspace on Friday night,” the Swedish defense ministry said in an announcement, adding that its groups had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry said the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, earlier than it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It is completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the general security state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should all the time be respected.”
