Ukrainian Evacuation Plane Hijacked In Kabul, Diverted To Iran: Reports
A Ukrainian plane in Afghanistan to evacuate its citizens was hijacked and diverted to Iran, reports quoted a Ukraine Minister as saying.
The plane had reportedly arrived last week to evacuate Ukrainians.
“Last Sunday, our plane was hijacked by others. On Tuesday, the plane was practically stolen from us, it flew into Iran with an unidentified group of passengers onboard rather than airlifting Ukrainians. Our next three evacuation attempts were also not successful because our people couldn’t get into the airport,” Ukraine’s Deputy minister Yevgeny Yenin was quoted as saying by to Russian agency TASS.
More details are awaited.
