Twenty-two people were injured when an An-24 plane made an emergency landing in Russia's Buryatia region, local medical services told TASS on Thursday.

Two crewmembers died during the emergency landing. There were 46 people on board, including four crewmembers.

The fire has been localized. Fourty-four people were rescued.
