It was not immediately clear how many people were on board the aircraft but estimates range from 13-17 passengers. It comes just days after a plane carrying 28 people crashed in the far east of the country. The Antonov An-26 twin-engined turboprop missed a scheduled communication and disappeared from radar during its flight from the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy. The wreckage was later found on a coastal cliffside and in the sea. Russian media reported that none of the six crew members or 22 passengers on board had survived.
