A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officials said 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 night,” the Swedish defense ministry mentioned in an announcement, adding that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry said the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, earlier than 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 safety scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must always be revered.”
