Swedish Armed Forces say four Russian fighter jets violated a ban on the use of its domestic airspace today.
The Scandinavian nation, which is not a NATO member, closed its airspace to Russian aircraft on Monday, in line with similar measures by other European nations.
In a statement, Sweden’s military condemned the alleged incursion by the Russian warplanes as “unprofessional and irresponsible.”
It noted the incident, said to have taken place over the Baltic Sea, was brief.
