The footage shows how the plane, for an unknown reason, was unable to brake when landing at Gao airport. After landing, the IL-76 flew off the runway at high speed, broke up and caught fire. Previously, more than 140 people died in the accident, among whom were mercenaries of the private military company Wagner.
According to the Malian publication Malijet, the cause of the plane crash was a malfunction of the aircraft’s tank. Journalist Serge Daniel wrote on the social network X that an Il-76 military transport plane carrying people and equipment crashed in Mali.
