“On arrival on board the transport police, a passenger was born in 1962, a native of the Krasnodar Territory, who told the flight attendant that there was an explosive device in his hand luggage,” the Interior Ministry said.
The suspect was taken to the police on call. It is noted that during it no prohibited items were found.
The man will be sent for a medical examination.
