A Russian reconnaissance plane 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 plane violated Swedish airspace on Friday night,” the Swedish protection ministry stated in an announcement, including that its teams had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry said the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, before it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It's totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the overall security scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must all the time be respected.”
