At least five passengers were slightly injured after a plane made an emergency landing at an airport in central Japan on Saturday, following a bomb threat.

According to the agency "Kyodo" that a Japanese plane belonging to the "Jetstar" low-cost airline, was on a domestic flight, made an emergency landing at the Japanese "Chubu" airport after a bomb threat, but the police did not find anything.

"The plane was heading on a domestic flight from Narita Airport near the capital, Tokyo, to Fukuoka Airport, in the southwest of the country," the agency added, with 136 passengers and 6 crew members on board.

Narita Airport received a call from a man from Germany saying in English that he had planted a 100-kilogram plastic bomb in the cargo hold of a Jetstar plane, according to the same source.

Local authorities temporarily closed the runway and canceled some flights, but the police were unable to find any suspicious items on the plane.
