Bomb threat in Hungary, Gripens scrambled
Hungarian Gripen fighter jets were scrambled in the afternoon on Saturday because of a bomb threat on a civilian aircraft passing through local airspace, the Defence Ministry told MTI.
The Gripens escorted the passenger aircraft from the time it entered Hungarian airspace from Romania until it landed at Debrecen International Airport, in the east of the country. The aircraft took off in Poland and was bound for Israel.
