Russian media described the crew's injuries as "insignificant". Have not heard anything since so presume all is well.
Russian television news were showing graphic of starboard engine fire/explosion at take off, causing aircraft to preferentially lift on port side, starboard wing hitting the ground and snapping off before aircraft lands upside down. Disclaimer: I am SLF, Russian is my second language and therefore have to concentrate hard to get translation correct, this is a television news report with all that implies about journalism, and it is Russia, so make of all this what you will.
