The wreckage of a plane that crashed with 49 people on board has been located in Russia’s Far Eastern region, local emergency officials reported Thursday.
According to Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry, the aircraft’s “burning fuselage” was discovered, though no additional information was released.
The An-24 passenger plane, operated by Angara Airlines and based in Siberia, was carrying 43 passengers—including five children—and six crew members. It was en route from Blagoveshchensk, near the Russian-Chinese border, to the town of Tynda, regional Governor Vasily Orlov said.
The aircraft vanished from radar and lost communication with air traffic control just a few miles before reaching Tynda airport, reports UNB.
