A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials said on Saturday, because the Scandinavian nation 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 mentioned in an announcement, including that its groups had followed 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 towards Swedish territory.
“It's totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the overall security scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should at all times be respected.”
