Russian embassy in Thailand provides all necessary assistance to the Russian citizens who were flying by Aeroflot airlines from Moscow to Bangkok and were injured due to turbulence hitting the aircraft, a Consul on duty was quoted by Sputnik as saying on Monday.

He added that there was no exact data on the number of victims among Russian and foreign citizens, as the list with passengers names were not specified yet.

Russia's Aeroflot airline plane was hit by short-term severe turbulence early on Monday. After the aircraft landed in Bangkok, all the injured passengers were taken to a hospital.

"So far I can confirm that the aircraft was hit by turbulence, passengers got fractures, bruises and sprains, they are in hospital now. All necessary assistance is provided to them," the diplomat said.

Representatives of the airline and Russian Consulate are present in the hospital.
