A Russian reconnaissance plane 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 protection ministry said in a statement, adding that its groups had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry said the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, earlier than it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It is totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the final security state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must always be revered.”
