MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 06th May, 2019) At least 41 people were killed in plane fire at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport, Elena Markovskaya, an official from the regional branch of the Russian Investigative Committee, said.

"Forty-one people," she said, answering journalists' questions on the number of those killed in the tragedy.

The SSJ100, which was performing a flight from Moscow to Murmansk, had to make an emergency landing earlier in the day at the Sheremetyevo Airport due to the fire on board, which ultimately burnt down the aircraft.
