Russian military propeller plane briefly enters Swedish territory

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – A Russian military propeller plane briefly violated Swedish airspace over the Baltic Sea on Friday, the Swedish Armed Forces said in a statement on Saturday.

The Russian AN-30 plane was located east of the Danish island of Bornholm, after which it entered Swedish territory for a short period of time, the military said on its website.

It added that Swedish planes had documented the violation.
