BBC: "A Russian Soyuz spacecraft has returned to Earth, but came down more than 400km (250 miles) away from its planned touchdown point, say Russian officials. The crew are safe, but were subjected to severe G-forces during re-entry, said a spokesman for Mission Control according to AP news agency."
