A Russian Aeroflot Sukhoi Superjet plane made an emergency landing at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport on Sunday due to a fire on board, Russia's Interfax news agency reported. Russian state TV showed footage of the plane with black smoke rising above its tail. Video on Russian news channel Rossiya-24 showed the plane, a Sukhoi SSJ-100 regional jet, landing in the evening with large flames engulfing the rear section. Agencies reported various figures on the number of injured — from five to more than 10. Russian news agencies say the plane had taken off for the northern city of Murmansk, but a fire broke out while it was in the air and it returned to Sheremetyevo.
