Iran's CAA reported the aircraft "suffered damage to one of its landing gear wheels while landing at Mehrabad Airport at 10:24 a.m., and subsequently, after traveling a distance and reducing speed, it left the runway and stopped next to the runway edge for reasons that are under investigation." There were no injuries. An investigation team was dispatched to the airport.
ADS-B data suggest, the aircraft on final approach was left of the runway centerline, touched down onto the centerline, slowed, veered right and exited the right runway edge at about 70 knots over ground and came to a stop on the parallel taxiway.
Local media report the aircraft bounced on landing and suffered a tail strike, and damaged some runway signs. There were no injuries.
