A Russian cargo plane skidded off the runway when it was forced to make an emergency landing at a remote airstrip in Siberia.

According to the Transport Prosecutor’s Office, the plane, which was carrying eight crew members, came off the runway on March 26 in Novy Urengoy after suffering a left landing gear issue.

No injuries were reported during the incident, according to Reuters.

Transport officials published footage of the landing, which shows the plane tilting to one side once it hits the runway. It then veers off the runway, crashing into snow before finally stopping.

According to Reuters, the aircraft is an Antonov, a four-engined turboprop cargo plane from the Soviet Union era.

Similar planes are in service with Russian cargo operators and other freight companies worldwide.
