Azimuth Airlines said the plane made a bad landing. Russia's Federal Aviation Administration, Rosaviatsiya, said it was investigating the incident.
Flight tracking website FlightRadar24 said the plane was seven years old. Russia has been short of planes due to Western sanctions over its conflict with Ukraine since 2022.
