In a tragic event in Russia's Far East, a plane crash resulted in the loss of 48 lives, according to the governor of the Amur region. The An-24 passenger plane went missing from radar during its journey from Blagoveshchensk to Tynda. The wreckage of the Siberia-based Angara Airlines aircraft was discovered in a forested area south of its intended landing place. All passengers and crew on board perished in the crash, leading to three days of mourning announced by Regional Gov. Vasily Orlov. The plane, with 49 occupants including five children, crashed in adverse weather conditions approximately 4,350 miles east of Moscow.
