A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officials said on Saturday, as 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 defense ministry stated in a press release, adding that its teams had followed 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 is completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the general safety state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should at all times be revered.”
