A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officers said 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 night,” the Swedish protection ministry mentioned in a press release, adding that its groups had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, before it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It's completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the overall safety state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must all the time be respected.”
