A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection 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 aircraft violated Swedish airspace on Friday night,” the Swedish protection ministry mentioned in a statement, adding that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, earlier than it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It's totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the final security scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should always be revered.”
