There is no official information about the crash of the aircraft yet, and the regional governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, reported some event in the Korochansky district, without specifying details. And local Telegram channels have already published a video with a possible plane crash.
According to Gladkov, investigators and the Ministry of Emergency Situations are working at the scene. The head of the region himself also went to the landing site.
Russian media write that there were 63 people on board the Il-76 that crashed near Belgorod. They died.
As you know, the Il-76 military transport aircraft is used to transport cargo weighing 28-60 tons or 126 troops. The cost of such an aircraft is 27 million dollars.
Let us remind you that a Russian private passenger plane Falcon 10 crashed in Afghanistan on January 20. This happened in the skies over Afghanistan near the border with Tajikistan. Afghan police reported a plane crash in the northern province of Badakhshan.
