After an Air India flight made an emergency landing in Russia due to an engine problem, the USA said that it is closely monitoring the situation.
Air India's flight from Delhi to San Francisco was diverted to Magadan in Russia on June 6, 2023, due to an engine glitch. The plane, carrying 216 passengers and 16 crew members, landed safely.
"We are aware of a US-bound flight that had to make an emergency landing in Russia and are continuing to monitor that situation closely. I'm not able to confirm how many US citizens were aboard the flight at this time," State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel told reporters at his daily news conference.
