Its cause was an electronic cigarette that caught fire on the luggage rack, reports RIA News.

One of the passengers of the flight published in his microblog Twitter video of the incident.

“I was sitting several rows away, but another person was closer and filmed the fire on his phone! Apparently the vape exploded and the bag caught fire,” he wrote.
