What happened
During a routine aerial survey operation conducted over the Jokhov Island area, an aircraft completed its flight without any reported incidents. Upon reaching the island, the crew successfully performed a landing. However, immediately following the touchdown, the aircraft was overtaken by an explosion and subsequent fire.
The intensity of the flames caused the plane to be completely destroyed. Despite the severity of the post-landing event, all occupants managed to evacuate the aircraft safely. There were zero fatalities and no reported injuries among the crew members involved in the flight.
Findings
Investigations into the incident concluded that the fire originated within the cargo area of the plane. Specifically, an electrical component located in a box inside the cargo compartment ignited. This initial fire eventually led to the explosion of several fuel drums being carried on board, which caused the total destruction of the aircraft.
