The debris was lying in the middle of a forest.
First visuals have emerged showing the debris of the Russian An-24 passenger aircraft that went missing on Thursday with 49 people on board, including five children, four crew members, and two airline employees.
The wreckage was discovered 15 km from Tynda, on the slope of a mountain near the village of Kuvykta, in Russia’s eastern Amur region bordering China.
According to reports, the plane was making a second circle before attempting to land and was flying unusually low, as captured in eyewitness videos shortly before the crash. The aircraft, operated by Siberia-based Angara Airlines, was headed to Tynda when it lost contact mid-flight.
Preliminary reports suggest there are no survivors, although officials have not yet issued a formal confirmation. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
