South Korea said Tuesday it is checking whether any of its nationals were aboard the EgyptAir flight that was forced to land in Cyprus after being hijacked.
The Airbus A320 carrying 81 people was en route to Cairo from Alexandria, Egypt, when a passenger reportedly wearing an explosive belt forced the plane to land in Larnaca, Cyprus.
"The Foreign Ministry is checking through the South Korean embassies in Egypt and Greece whether any of our nationals were aboard the plane," the ministry said in a brief statement. (Yonhap)
