What happened
A cargo operation departing from Yakutsk Airport experienced a critical mechanical failure while en route to Olenyok. The twin-engine airplane, which was transporting 6.3 tons of food supplies, suffered a double engine failure during the flight. In response to the loss of power, the crew initiated a descent to a lower altitude in an attempt to perform an emergency landing.
The aircraft eventually impacted a wooded region situated approximately 70 km from the destination of Olenyok. While the impact caused the aircraft to be damaged beyond repair, the crew managed to exit the cabin. Of the seven crew members on board, three individuals sustained minor injuries during the incident.
