A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officers stated on Saturday, because 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 evening,” the Swedish protection ministry mentioned in an announcement, adding that its groups had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated 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 state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should all the time be respected.”
