A Russian An-24 passenger plane carrying 49 people — including children — has tragically crashed near the China border in Russia’s Amur region. The aircraft, operated by Siberia-based Angara Airlines, went missing while approaching the remote town of Tynda. Rescue teams launched a massive search operation and later located burning debris in the region. The Russian emergencies ministry confirmed the crash, stating that the plane had vanished from radar shortly before landing.
Regional Governor Vasily Orlov reported that 43 passengers, including five children, and six crew members were onboard. The incident underscores Russia’s growing aviation crisis, worsened by international sanctions on aircraft parts and maintenance post the Ukraine war. The An-24, one of the oldest planes still in operation, has raised safety concerns globally. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the crash. Eyewitnesses reportedly saw smoke rising from the debris field. Further updates are awaited as recovery operations continue.
