A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officers said on Saturday, as 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 night,” the Swedish defense ministry mentioned in a statement, including that its groups had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, earlier than it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It is totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the general safety state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must all the time be respected.”
