Twelve people are dead after a passenger plane crashed during a landing attempt in northern Siberia, the Russian Ministry of Emergencies reports.
Out of the 15 total on board, 4 have been crew members. The pilot, the second pilot, the board engineer, and the only surviving passenger were listed in the hospital, but the latter died early Tuesday morning.
The plane, an Antonov-24 twin turboprop of the Katekavia airline, was flying from Krasnoyarsk and had been approaching the airport in the city of Igarka when it crashed 700m from the runway.
It was raining at the time of the incident, but the weather had been corresponding to minimum flight requirements, according to Russian authorities.
The families of the casualties will receive a compensation of RUB 2 M each. A day of mourning has been declared for the Krasnoyarsk region for Wednesday.
The Russian Ministry of Transport is conducting a probe. The black box is yet to be located.
