The same day, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc also extended sympathies to his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev.

On May 5, an Aeroflot plane made an emergency landing and caught fire at Sheremetyevo International Airport, only 30 minutes after taking off from the airport. The incident killed 41 crew members and passengers.

Investigators were on May 6 working to understand the causes of the blaze after the Sukhoi Superjet-100 had to return to Sheremetyevo airport shortly after take-off Sunday evening.

Pilot Denis Yevdokimov told Russian media the aircraft lost communication and needed to switch to emergency control mode "because of lightning" on the Aeroflot flight to the Arctic city of Murmansk.
