A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officers mentioned 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 night,” the Swedish defense ministry said in an announcement, adding that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, before it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It's 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 scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should always be revered.”
