A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officials stated on Saturday, as the Scandinavian nation ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller airplane violated Swedish airspace on Friday night,” the Swedish defense ministry said in an announcement, adding that its groups had adopted 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 completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the final safety situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should always be respected.”
