An Air India plane flying from New Delhi to San Francisco landed in Russia after it developed an engine problem, officials said.
Girvaan Kaahma, 16, was traveling on the flight with his uncle and brother. He said they are barred from leaving the hostel where they are staying in Magadan and can’t use their credit cards to buy items from the vending machine because of sanctions over Russia's war on Ukraine.
Richa Verma of River Islands said her parents were among the passengers. They told her they were being housed at a Russian school and sleeping on cots. Some families said they worried their loved ones could get tangled up in Russia's war with Ukraine. But when they saw that the flight path of the diversion took them far from the Ukraine border on the west, to the eastern corner of Russia, there was some relief. There was also concern that Russia could try to hold passengers with U.S. citizenship due to worsening relations between Washington and Moscow.
