A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officials stated on Saturday, because the Scandinavian nation 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 said in a press release, adding that its groups had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, before it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It's totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the general safety situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should always be respected.”
