The local emergency ministry reported that the plane belonged to Siberia-based Angara Airlines. It vanished from radar while approaching its destination, Tynda, a town in the Amur region near the Chinese border, according to Reuters.

Eyewitness videos showed the aircraft flying unusually low and making a second circle before attempting to land. Preliminary information indicates there may be no survivors, but authorities have yet to confirm this. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
