What happened
During an aerial attack targeting a bridge crossing the Yalu River between Sinuiju and Andong, North Korea, the aircraft came under heavy fire from approximately 15 to 20 MiG-15 fighters. The engagement resulted in two of the aircraft's engines catching fire, leading to a total loss of flight control. The plane subsequently crashed into a mountainous area situated south of Sinuiju.
Of the eleven people on board, two crew members successfully exited the aircraft via parachute and were later recovered. However, the crash resulted in 9 fatalities among the remaining occupants.
Findings
Investigation of the event determined that the primary reason for the loss of the aircraft was that it was shot down by enemy fighters during its combat mission.
