An Aeroflot flight attendant was injured when flight SU1829 landed in Moscow from Ganja, Azerbaijan, the Telegram channel Aviatorshina reports.

The aircraft, an Airbus A320 registered RA-73173, was braking after touchdown at Sheremetyevo when a container came loose in a rear galley compartment and hit the attendant in the head. She was sitting opposite the compartment. She received a bruise and a cut, and the airport medical centre also suspected a traumatic brain injury. She was taken to a hospital.

The other 154 passengers and five crew members were not hurt. A check of the compartment's fittings found no defects.
