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

The portal Mash suggested that the pilot might have struck the runway with the left wing upon landing, which could have contributed to the fire.

There were approximately 80 passengers on board. Currently, there is no information about any casualties.

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