A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials mentioned on Saturday, as the Scandinavian country 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 said in an announcement, adding that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, earlier than it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It's completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the general safety state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must always be respected.”
