Russian plane crash kills 11
A Russian cargo plane crashed yesterday in the remote Far East after reporting engine trouble and disappearing off radars, apparently killing all 11 on board in the latest in a spate of air accidents.
Transport prosecutors said in a statement that the ageing Soviet jet came down in a hard-to-reach area of the Magadan region, hundreds of kilometres even from the nearest village.
The plane disappeared off the radars at around 14.30 local time yesterday after reporting that its engine was on fire and requesting to make an emergency landing at the Magadan airport.
