A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials mentioned on Saturday, because the Scandinavian nation 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 stated 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, earlier than it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It's completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the general safety situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must at all times be respected.”
