A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials mentioned on Saturday, as 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 stated in a press release, adding that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, earlier than it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It is totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the general security situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should always be revered.”
