The missing Russian Antonov AN-26 plane with 28 passengers on board is believed to have crashed into the sea. Several rescue ships have already been sent to the scene.
Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry said on Tuesday that the Antonov AN-26 had lost contact with the control room in Kamchatka on its way from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskyto to Palana.
It was initially thought to be missing as the aircraft did not respond on time after the flight.
A spokesman for the country’s emergency services said the plane had six crew and 22 passengers, including a child, on board. A helicopter and troops are preparing to search and rescue the plane.
A statement from the regional government said all emergency services had been notified. Two helicopters and a plane are searching the area.
