A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officials said on Saturday, because the Scandinavian nation 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 protection ministry mentioned in a press release, adding 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, before it headed towards Swedish territory.

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

“This action is unprofessional and given the general safety state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must always be respected.”
