MOSCOW — A passenger plane with 28 people aboard crashed in far eastern Russia on Tuesday, the authorities said, in the latest blow to the country’s sprawling but aging domestic aviation industry. Hours later, airborne search crews found pieces of the plane’s fuselage in the sea and on the shore. There were not believed to be any survivors, Russian news agencies reported. The plane, Kamchatka Aviation Enterprise Flight 251, appeared to be making a second attempt to land amid foggy conditions when it hit a cliff. “The crash is presumed to have occurred during a go-around approach during landing in poor visibility,” the Kamchatka region’s governor, Vladimir Solodov, said in a statement.
