On July 23, an An-24 aircraft crashed in Russia's Amur region. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
There were a total of 43 passengers on board, including five children. No survivors were found during the inspections conducted by emergency services.
According to preliminary investigations conducted at the scene, potential causes of the crash are being considered as adverse weather conditions, crew error, and technical malfunction of the aircraft. The aircraft belonged to Angara Airlines and was operating a regular flight on the Khabarovsk-Blagoveshchensk-Tynda route.
The aircraft failed during its first landing attempt and had to circle again. It then disappeared from radar, and communication was lost.
The wreckage of the aircraft was found 15 kilometers from the airport, scattered about half a kilometer on the mountainside. For this reason, rescuers determined that there was no possibility of landing at the site.
Plans were made to lower ropes from helicopters, and this process was coordinated with international evacuation programs. An investigation has been launched regarding the incident.
Emergency services, rescuers, and aviation experts are working together to determine the causes of the crash. A criminal case has been opened, and necessary examinations are ongoing.
The condition of the passengers and their travel purposes are also being investigated. This incident is being closely monitored internationally.
Once the investigation processes are completed, official information regarding the exact causes and consequences of the crash will be provided.
