A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials said 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 said in a press release, including that its groups had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, before it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It's totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the general security scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must at all times be revered.”
