What happened
During a flight mission, an aircraft was targeted by enemy anti-aircraft weaponry. The strike resulted in a direct hit to the right engine, which subsequently ignited while the plane was still airborne. Following the engine fire, the aircraft entered a steep dive and impacted the ground.
In the moments leading up to the crash, two members of the crew successfully exited the aircraft via bailout procedures. However, the remaining two crew members were killed during the incident. The total number of fatalities was 2.
Findings
Investigations into the loss of the aircraft concluded that the primary reason for the crash was the impact of enemy anti-aircraft fire, which triggered the engine fire and subsequent uncontrolled descent.
