The State Border Committee of Belarus confirmed to Sputnik on Monday that radioactive materials were found aboard an Armenian aircraft en route to Bulgaria.
Bychkovsky noted that the aircraft, which he said was not a passenger flight, was flying from Armenia to Bulgaria via Belarus.
“I can confirm this fact. The incident took place on [Sunday] March 19 at Gomel Airport,” spokesman Anton Bychkovsky said following President Alexander Lukashenko’s assertion earlier in the day.
