According to the Seongdong Police Station in Seoul on the 25th, the three suspects of Russian nationality were confirmed to have boarded a flight to China through Gimpo Airport on the day of the incident.


The police have issued arrest warrants for them, completed the wanted procedures, and are reviewing the requirements for cooperation with Interpol.
