A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials mentioned on Saturday, as the Scandinavian country 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 protection ministry mentioned in a press release, adding that its teams had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the aircraft was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, before it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It's completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the general safety scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must all the time be respected.”
