A Russian reconnaissance plane 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 aircraft violated Swedish airspace on Friday evening,” the Swedish protection ministry stated in a statement, including that its groups 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 towards Swedish territory.
“It's completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the final safety state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must always be revered.”
