A Sukhoi Superjet 100 operated by Azimuth Airlines caught fire after a hard landing in Antalya, with no injuries reported.

The fire broke out in the left engine of the Russian-made Sukhoi Superjet 100 after a hard landing at Antalya Airport on Sunday evening.
All 89 passengers and six crew members were safely evacuated using emergency slides, with no injuries reported.
Emergency responders quickly extinguished the fire, and airport operations were temporarily suspended until the aircraft was towed away.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, with reports suggesting strong winds and a rough landing may have contributed to the incident.
