Trinidad impounds Ukrainian cargo plane carrying undeclared explosives bound for Libya

Saturday, 16 May 2026, 06:34 · 1 min read

A Ukrainian cargo aircraft transporting explosives was temporarily grounded in Trinidad and Tobago (a small English-speaking island nation off the Venezuelan coast) on Thursday after authorities discovered the dangerous cargo had not been declared in line with international aviation and security protocols. The plane had flown from the Bahamas, stopped at Piarco International Airport in Port of Spain to refuel, and was en route to Libya via Cape Verde when immigration officers grew suspicious and intervened. The pilot and crew were ultimately cleared of wrongdoing, and the aircraft was authorised to continue its journey after the matter was resolved.
