A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officers said on Saturday, because the Scandinavian nation 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 defense ministry said in a press release, including that its groups had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the aircraft was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, earlier than it headed towards 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 overall safety situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should at all times be respected.”
