A statement from the Russian Embassy<\/a>, which confirmed the incident on Monday, stated that \u201cthe crew of the UN aircraft will be evacuated to the country\u2019s capital, Bamako later on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media account of the devastating incident revealed that \u201cthe plane, en route from Bamako to the Malian city of Gao, made a hard landing on Monday, resulting in injuries for all the people on board,\u201d comprising of \u201cfour UN staffers and seven crew members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on the medical intervention as delivered by the airport, the release from the embassy stated that \u201cthose injured have received medical assistance in the airport.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it explained that a Russian citizen, who had his leg broken due to the hard landing, is currently in hospital, a development delaying the Russian authority from demanding explanations around the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It read: \u201cWe have not discussed the reasons (of the incident) with Utair, as we are mainly interested in the health condition of the Russian citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have not asked them about the reasons, as we assume it is their business and the business of their clients,\u201d the embassy added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
