Sudden turbulence hits Aeroflot Moscow-Bangkok flight

Severe turbulence has left 27 people injured during a flight from Moscow to Bangkok, Russian officials say.

There was apparently no warning before the incident, which happened in clear skies shortly before the Aeroflot flight landed in the Thai capital on Monday.

The Russian embassy said while no one suffered serious injuries, those with fractures and bruising had had their seat belts unfastened.
