Fifty people have been killed after a passenger jet crashed in the Russian city of Kazan, the worst such tragedy in the country in more than two years.
Tartarstan Airlines flight 363 from Moscow to Kazan crashed as it came into land at the Volga city’s airport at 7:25 local time on Sunday night.
The Boeing 737-500 was making its second attempt to land at Kazan, some 500 miles east of Moscow, when its nose struck the runway and it exploded, killing all 50 people on board, authorities said.
A casualty list released by the Emergency Situations Ministry showed that Republic of Tartarstan President Rustam Minnekhanov’s son Irek and the head of the Republic’s FSB, Alexander Antonov, were among the 44 passengers and six crew members who died in the crash.
Emergency Situations Ministry has opened a hotline for concerned relatives.
