Previously, search and rescue forces found the black box of this plane.

According to aviation experts, it is likely that the plane crashed into the mountain in poor visibility conditions, flying at low altitude.

However, this is just a hypothesis and the investigation agency will have to analyze the data in the black box to know the exact cause of the accident.

The Il-76, which belongs to the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, went missing while flying at an altitude of 3,000 meters. Among the 10 people on board, in addition to the crew, there were also a number of firefighters./.
