According to preliminary information confirmed by the regional Ministry of Emergency Situations, two people died as a result of the plane crash. One of those on board tried to eject during the descent, but this did not save his life. The total number of people on board the plane is currently not specified.
It is known that the flight was carried out from the Torbeevo-Start airfield in the Stupino urban district.
