Kabul: Ukraine and Iran Tuesday both have denied reports of hijacking of a country’s evacuation plane from Afghanistan, GNN reported quoting The Jerusalem Post.
Tehran and Kiev denied hijacking of any Ukrainian evacuation plane in Afghanistan.
Earlier in the day, it was reported that some unidentified armed hijackers took control of a Ukrainian plane and flew it to Iran after it arrived in Afghanistan last week to evacuate Ukrainians.
"Last Sunday, our plane was hijacked by other people. On Tuesday, the plane was practically stolen from us, with an unidentified group of passengers onboard instead of airlifting Ukrainians," Ukraine’s Deputy Foreign Minister Yevgeny Yenin said.
"Our next three evacuation attempts were also not successful because our people could not get into the airport," he added.
Reportedly, around 100 Ukrainians are still waiting to be evacuated.
