A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officers said 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 protection ministry mentioned in a statement, 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 completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the general safety situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should at all times be respected.”
