"An An-24 operated by Angara Airlines failed to make contact at a designated checkpoint a few kilometers from Tynda Airport," a source said. The aircraft is carrying 40 passengers, including two children, along with six crew members.
Meanwhile, the Governor of Amur Region, Vasily Orlov, said there were 43 passengers on board the plane, including five children.
Russia’s Interfax (IFAX) news agency reported that wreckage from the plane had been found in the eastern part of Amur province.
RIA Novosti also reported that the aircraft was located in a mountainous area about 15 kilometers from Tynda town, and there were no survivors. The crash site is reportedly very difficult to access.
However, these reports have not yet been confirmed by Russian authorities.
