A passenger plane from Blagoveshchensk to Tynda crashed, leading to no survivors among the 48 passengers and crew. The Antonov An-24 was found burned on a hillside south of Tynda. Rescue efforts faced challenges due to difficult terrain and bad weather. The aircraft disappeared from radar during its second approach, and no pre-crash issues were reported by the crew. Reports indicate rough weather may have caused altitude misjudgement. President Putin and President Xi Jinping expressed condolences to the victims' families.
None of the 48 passengers and crew on board have survived, as stated by the head of Russia's Amur region following the crash.
Rescue work at the crash site was initially hampered by difficult terrain and bad weather, but local authorities were able to reach the site later in the afternoon.
The aircraft reportedly vanished from radar during its second approach to Tynda, and the crew had not reported any problems before the crash.
Rough weather may have led to misjudgements of altitude, causing the plane to brush the tops of trees as it approached the airport.
