MOSCOW, Oct 2, 2008 (AFP) - A Russian plane carrying 108 passengers made an emergency landing in the western Russian city of Kaliningrad overnight but no one was injured, Ria-Novosti news agency reported Thursday.

The KD-Avia Boeing 737-300, which had taken off from Barcelona, Spain and was headed to Kaliningrad, developed problems with its landing gear, the agency quoted an official of the Russian transport ministry as saying.

'No passenger was injured' but Kaliningrad airport was temporarily closed, he said.

An Aeroflot Boeing 737 crashed in the Ural mountains last month as it was coming in to land in the city of Perm after taking off from Moscow, located 1,400 kilometres (870 miles) to the west.

Russian investigators have said preliminary indications showed technical failure caused the crash which killed all 88 people on board.
