A passenger plane flying from Blagoveshchensk to Tynda in eastern Russia crashed on Thursday, with no sign that any of the 49 people on board survived the disaster, Russian authorities have said.
The wreckage of the Angara Airlines Antonov An-24, one of the oldest passenger planes still in operation, has been located about 15 km (9 miles) from Tynda, the Civil Defense Ministry said.
