A tragic air disaster has unfolded in Russia’s Far East, where an Antonov An-24 passenger aircraft, operated by Siberian airline Angara, has crashed near Tynda in the Amur region. Authorities confirmed that all 49 people on board — including 43 passengers (five of them children) and six crew members — are feared dead.
The aircraft was en route to Tynda, a town bordering China, when air traffic control lost contact shortly before its scheduled landing. Emergency response teams launched a search operation, and the wreckage was located approximately 15 kilometers from Tynda Airport.
Regional Governor Vasily Orlov stated that preliminary findings suggest adverse weather conditions and the region’s difficult terrain may have played a role in the crash. A comprehensive investigation is now underway to determine the exact cause.
This incident adds to a troubling series of recent global aviation tragedies. Earlier in June, an Air India flight crash in Ahmedabad claimed 260 lives, and on June 20, a Bangladesh Air Force training aircraft crashed into a school campus in Dhaka, killing 32 people.
The latest crash has once again raised urgent questions about aviation safety and infrastructure in remote regions.
