Rescue teams have successfully located the wreckage of an Angara airlines An-24 aircraft that went missing while en route to Tynda airport in Russia’s Amur region. The plane, which was carrying 43 passengers and six crew members, disappeared from radar approximately 10 miles from its destination after taking off from Blagoveshchensk, close to the Chinese border. Amur’s regional governor, Vasily Orlov, confirmed that ten children were among those onboard as emergency services had been mobilized to find the missing aircraft.
According to Russia's emergencies ministry, a civil aviation helicopter spotted burning wreckage of the plane on a hillside.
