"In the Turkish air traffic control area over international waters of the Black Sea, approximately 250 km southwest of Sochi, the crew detected a dangerous approach warning on the TCAS system. The pilots responded and followed the system's recommendations," the state-owned road transport management corporation (ATM) said after investigating the incident over the Black Sea.
The aircraft dispersed safely, and the A-330 landed at Vnukovo.
Experts are trying to understand the details of the incident; currently, there is no information about the unidentified aircraft. It has also been determined that the aircraft did not respond to communications from Russian air traffic control.
