The Foreign Office will summon the Russian ambassador to protest against the incident, says Foreign Minister Tobias Billström.
This follows the violation of Swedish airspace.
A Russian plane violated Swedish airspace on Friday and two Jas planes were forced to take off to intercept it.
Foreign Minister Tobias Billström (The Moderate Party) describes the incident as unacceptable.
"The Russian action is unacceptable. The Foreign Office will summon the Russian ambassador to protest against the incident. We are in close contact with allies and partners regarding events in the nearby region," he writes to TT.
Defence Minister Pål Jonson (The Moderate Party) was informed of the violation and comments in writing: "The Russian action is unacceptable and unprofessional. It is good that the Defence Forces' incident response intervened and turned back the Russian fighter plane."
