Russian portal MSK1.ru reports that the engine of the Azimut Airlines plane caught fire during landing. The flight had arrived in Turkey from Sochi, Russia.

The portal Mash suggests that the pilot might have struck the runway with the left wing during landing, which could have caused the fire.

There were around 80 passengers on board. Currently, there is no information regarding any casualties.

"Passengers claim that after landing, they felt a strong impact. Then, fuel began to leak. The crew quickly deployed emergency exits and evacuated everyone. Turkish firefighters promptly arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire," reports the portal.
