A Ukrainian flight that was in Afghanistan to evacuate its citizens was reportedly hijacked on Sunday and was diverted to Iran on Tuesday, a Ukrainian Minister was quoted as saying.

The plane had reportedly entered into Afghanistan last week to evacuate Ukrainian citizens from the Taliban captured Afghanistan.

"Last Sunday, our plane was hijacked by other people. On Tuesday, the plane was practically stolen from us, it flew into Iran with an unidentified group of passengers onboard instead of airlifting Ukrainians. Our next three evacuation attempts were also not successful because our people could not get into the airport," Ukraine's Deputy Foreign Minister Yevgeny Yenin was quoted as saying by to Russian News Agency TASS.
