A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials stated on Saturday, because 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 protection ministry mentioned in a statement, including that its groups had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, earlier than it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It's totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the overall safety situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must always be revered.”
