The Associated Press reports that the passenger said he had a bomb, and security forces are now searching the plan. It cites a Turkish official who denied that the passenger tried to divert the plane to Sochi.

The Telegraph reports that an official from Turkey’s transport ministry said, “We are sure that he didn’t enter the cockpit. We knot that the aircraft was hijacked before it entered Turkish airspace.”

According to Pegasus Airlines’ website, flight 751 took off from Kharkiv at 4:02 p.m. local time, and was supposed to land at Sabiha Gökçen at 6:07 p.m.

The plane is being held in a secure zone. Here’s the scene as police in Istanbul prepare to enter the plane, via Kure.tv:
