A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officers said 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 night,” the Swedish defense ministry stated in a statement, including that its groups had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry said the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, earlier than it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It is totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the final security situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should always be revered.”
