A Russian plane has made an emergency landing in Moscow after a passenger stood up in the aisle and threatened to blow herself up, news agencies report.

Police say no explosive device was found on the woman.

The airline S7 said its plane had been flying to Moscow from Simferopol in Crimea, a region Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014.

Police detained the woman after the plane landed at Moscow's Domodedovo airport on Thursday, Interfax news agency said.
