An unidentified armed group has taken a Hungarian man captive in Ukraine, Hungary’s counter-terrorism force TEK told MTI on Monday. The man, a Hungarian citizen, was taken captive under unclear circumstances in eastern Ukraine, TEK said. The man had been travelling in a car with Hungarian licence plates in a conflict zone in eastern Ukraine and was captured by unknown gunmen, according to verified information. “As the area is the scene of armed conflict, a special unit of TEK has travelled to Ukraine without delay in line with international rules and protocol,” it said. The group supervising and commanding the TEK unit’s operation and led by the director of TEK has contacted Ukrainian authorities and continues coordination with the Hungarian Foreign Ministry on the matter, TEK said.
