A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officials stated on Saturday, because the Scandinavian country 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 mentioned in an announcement, adding that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry said the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within 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 action is unprofessional and given the general security situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should all the time be respected.”
