MOSCOW: A 3-year-old girl was the only survivor of a plane crash in far eastern Russia, which killed six people Wednesday, officials said. An L-410 twin-engine turboprop crashed while trying to land at a small airport near the village of Nelkan. The aircraft, which belonged to regional carrier Khabarovsk Airlines, was on a regular flight to Nelkan from Khabarovsk, the regional centre which is near a border with China. The girl survived the crash with non-life threatening injuries, including fractures and a concussion, and will be flown to Khabarovsk for treatment. A few regional airlines in Russia use such planes, among other international operators.
