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