A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials stated 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 evening,” the Swedish protection ministry mentioned in an announcement, including that its teams had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the airplane 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 television SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the overall security state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should always be respected.”
