Earlier, a Ryanair plane on a flight from Athens to Vilnius urgently landed in Minsk.
According to reports, this was due to a bomb report on board.
The founder of the NEXTA Telegram channel recognized as extremist in Belarus, Roman Protasevich, was flying in this airliner, who was detained after landing.
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda has already appealed to the Belarusian authorities with a demand to release Protasevich.
