Russian investigators are probing a runway excursion involving a Yakovlev Yak-40 at Siberia’s Olekminsk airport.

The trijet had been inbound from Bratsk on 10 December, says the East Siberian transport prosecutor’s office.

While landing at around 12:00, it states, the aircraft “skidded off the runway”.

“There were no casualties,” the office adds. “The circumstances of the incident are being established.”
