A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officers stated 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 defense ministry said in a statement, adding that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.

The ministry said the aircraft was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, earlier than it headed towards Swedish territory.

“It is totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.

“This motion is unprofessional and given the general security situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should all the time be revered.”
