10 killed in crash in Kamchatka
A plane crashed into a forest early Wednesday in Russia’s far east, killing 10 people and injuring four, the Emergencies Ministry said.
The Antonov-28 plane crash-landed in a cedar forest near the town of Palana in western Kamchatka, some 6,800 kilometers (4,200 miles) east of Moscow, it said in a web-posted statement, reports the Washington Post.
The two-engine turboprop had 14 people aboard, including two children and two crew members, it said. One of the survivors, a comatose 13-year-old boy, was hospitalized with a massive cranial wound, it said.
