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 evening,” the Swedish defense ministry said in a press release, including that its groups had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, before it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It is totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the general security situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should at all times be respected.”
