"After the plane took off, a vibration of the left engine was detected, after which it was decided to return back to Vnukovo," ((Translated from Russian))Russian language: ‍После взлета была обнаружена вибрация левого двигателя, после чего было принято решение о возвращении самолета обратно во Внуково a spokesperson for the airport told Interfax. "The airplane made an emergency landing. None of the 69 people on board were hurt." ((ru))Russian language: ‍Самолет совершил аварийную посадку. Никто из находившихся на борту 69 человек не пострадал

The plane had taken off from Vnukovo and was en route to Sochi on the Black Sea.
