The capsule of the Russian Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft with Russian cosmonaut Alexei Ovchinin and U.S. astronaut Nick Hague on board made an emergency landing in Kazakhstan on Thursday after the carrier rocket malfunctioned shortly after lift-off.

"They all hope that everything goes as planned", Prokopyev said.
