An Airbus A320 passenger plane, traveling from the Bulgarian coastal town of Burgas to Russia, has made an emergency landing at Russia's Koltsovo airport in the Urals.

"Everything is all right with everyone," a spokeswoman for the airport said on Tuesday, as cited by RIA Novosti.

It was not immediately clear how many people flew aboard the plane.

Sergei Antonov, a spokesman for the Urals Airlines that the aircraft belongs to, has confirmed the plane's emergency landing but revealed neither the cause of the incident nor any details.

The plane landed at the Koltsovo airport at 0:20 Moscow time on Tuesday (20:20 GMT on Monday).
