A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials mentioned on Saturday, because 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 mentioned in a statement, adding that its groups had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry said the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, earlier than it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It's completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the overall security scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should at all times be respected.”
