Russian military Tu-95 crashes, killing at least six on board, state media reports
The plane crashed during a training flight in the Amur Region, north of China, Russia's Defense Ministry said.
A Tupolev Tu-95 strategic bomber crashed in Russia's Amur Region on Tuesday, killing at least six crew members according to Russia's Defense Ministry. One survivor was taken to a hospital for treatment. The crash occurred on September 29 during a training flight in an uninhabited area near the Chinese border. The aircraft was not carrying any munitions, the ministry reported.
Russia's Defense Ministry sent a delegation to the crash site to investigate the incident. This is not the first such accident involving a Russian military aircraft in the region recently. In June, a Tu-22M3 strategic bomber crashed during a training flight in Siberia's Irkutsk region, with the crew managing to eject and survive. On March 31, an An-26 military transport plane crashed into a cliff in Crimea, killing all 29 people on board due to a possible technical malfunction.
