Two airliners damaged by lightning strikes during the last thunderstorm.

The first incident with damage to a passenger aircraft occurred during the departure of a regular flight Moscow - Novy Urengoy, which is why the aircraft crew decided to return to the airport of departure. The plane received minor damage, and at the same time, none of the people on board were injured.

The second incident in a day occurred late at night - during the landing of the Cyprus-Moscow flight, a lightning strike struck the aircraft, leaving light damage on it, which specialists are currently dealing with. As in the first case, none of the passengers on board, as well as the crew members, were injured.

Information resource Avia.pro notes that lightning often enough enters the aircraft, while large airliners usually do not receive damage, while for light aircraft it usually ends in a crash with the death of people.
