What happened
The aircraft was operating a scheduled cargo route from Moscow-Vnukovo to Šiauliai, with intermediate stops at Minsk and Kaunas. The payload consisted primarily of newspapers. Approximately fifteen minutes after departing Minsk Airport, the right-hand engine ceased functioning. The flight crew elected to return to the departure airport.
During the initial final approach, the pilot executed a go-around maneuver for reasons that were not specified in the available records. A subsequent landing attempt was also aborted shortly thereafter. As the aircraft began its initial climb following this second abort, the left engine also failed. The loss of thrust caused the airframe to stall. It subsequently struck a telephone pole and the roof of a nearby house before settling in a garden area.
All six individuals on board sustained minor injuries. The aircraft was declared a total loss due to the extent of the damage.
Findings
The official investigation concluded that the accident resulted from double engine failure for undetermined reason. No specific mechanical defect or external cause for the initial right-engine failure was identified in the provided source material.
