A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officials mentioned on Saturday, as the Scandinavian country ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller aircraft violated Swedish airspace on Friday evening,” the Swedish protection ministry stated in an announcement, adding that its teams had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, before it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It is 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 state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should always be respected.”
