Both flight crews reported operations were normal, nothing unusual on their flight decks, both flights continued to their destinations without further incident.
On May 30th 2021 Rosaviatsia reported the radar controller received indications both flights had transmitted the code for unlawful interference via their transponders. This however was identified as a malfunction of one of the radar heads used by the enroute traffic center.
