A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officers mentioned 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 evening,” the Swedish protection ministry mentioned in a statement, adding that its groups had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry said the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, before it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It's totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the general security situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must always be revered.”
