On Sunday afternoon, a Ryanair passenger plane flying from Athens to Vilnius landed at Minsk airport. He had approached Lithuanian airspace, but was forced to head to the capital of Belarus.
Ryanair reported that the plane landed at Minsk airport because Belarusian air dispatchers reported a possible security threat on board. This information was not confirmed later.
Ramanas Pratasevičius, a Belarusian blogger and opposition activist and founder of the Nexta news channel, flew this plane. When the plane landed in Minsk, he was detained, as was his girlfriend, Sofia Sapega, a Russian citizen and a student at the European University of Humanities in Vilnius.

On Sunday evening, the plane returned from Minsk to Vilnius.
