What happened
While operating in flight, the aircraft suffered a sudden loss of power due to an engine malfunction. This mechanical failure caused the plane to lose altitude rapidly. The crew was unable to maintain flight levels, leading to a crash landing within a field located in the vicinity of Kirensk.
Despite the impact, there were no fatalities or injuries reported among those on board. However, the aircraft sustained significant damage during the event and was subsequently declared a total loss.
Findings
Investigations into the incident concluded that the primary factor leading to the descent and subsequent landing was an engine failure in flight.
