Scenes of a passenger plane engulfed in flames as it sits on the tarmac in Moscow's busiest airport. At least one person has died and several more are injured after a passenger plane caught fire after making an emergency landing in Moscow, Russian media reports. IMAGES
Seventy one people, including three foreign nationals and six crew members, were killed when Saratov Airlines flight 6W703 crashed shortly after take-off. The plane was flying to the city of Orsk when it vanished from radar screens shortly after it took off from Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport, before crashing some 50 miles south-east of the capital. According to the Russian Transport Ministry a special committee is investigating the cause of the deadly crash.
Images show protesters and police outside the airport of the Georgian capital Tbilisi where a Russian passenger plane landed for the first time since 2019. Russia fought a brief but bloody war with Georgia in 2008, and anti-Russian sentiment runs deeps in the pro-Western country. IMAGES
