A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials stated on Saturday, as 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 defense ministry stated in an announcement, adding that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, earlier than it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It's completely 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 all the time be revered.”
