MOSCOW—Russian authorities opened an investigation on Oc.t 10, after a plane with 91 passengers on board rolled off the runway on landing in Russia’s far east.

The Russian-made Sukhoi Superjet-100, which was on an internal flight, landed in the region of Sakha in the early hours of Wednesday, but then came off the runway for some reason, the transport ministry said.
