Watu wasiopungua 29 wamefariki dunia baada ya ndege ya kijeshi ya Urusi kuanguka katika rasi ya Crimea. Wizara ya Ulinzi ya Urusi imethibitisha kuwa mawasiliano na ndege hiyo aina ya An-26 yalipotea ikiwa kwenye safari iliyopangwa.

Kwa mujibu wa taarifa iliyotolewa na wizara hiyo kupitia shirika la habari la Tass, ndege hiyo ya uchukuzi iligonga jabali wakati ikiwa kwenye safari iliyopangwa ndani ya rasi hiyo, ambayo ilichukuliwa na Urusi kutoka Ukraine mwaka 2014.

Ndege ya kijeshi ya usafiri ya Urusi aina ya Antonov An-26 imeanguka kwenye mwamba katika eneo la Crimea, na kuua watu 29 waliokuwa ndani, kwa mujibu wa vyombo vya habari vya Urusi vilivyonukuu wizara ya ulinzi mapema Jumatano.

Shirika la habari la TASS, likinukuu wizara hiyo, lilisema eneo la ajali liko Crimea, rasi inayoingia kwenye Bahari Nyeusi, ambayo ilichukuliwa na Urusi kutoka Ukraine mwaka 2014.

Wizara ya ulinzi ilisema kuwa watu 23 waliokuwa abiria na wafanyakazi 6 wa ndege walifariki dunia.

“Mnamo tarehe 31 Machi majira ya saa 12 jioni kwa saa za Moscow, mawasiliano yalipotea na ndege ya kijeshi ya An-26 wakati ikiwa kwenye safari ya kawaida juu ya Rasi ya Crimea,” wizara hiyo ilisema.

A Russian An-26 military transport plane crashed into a cliff in Crimea, killing 29 people on board, Russian news agencies reported the country’s defence ministry as saying early on Wednesday.

Tass news agency, quoting the ministry, said the crash site was located in Crimea, a peninsula jutting into the Black Sea, annexed by Russia from Ukraine in 2014. The ministry said 23 passengers and six crew members had been killed.

“On 31 March at around 18:00 Moscow time, contact was lost with the An-26 military transport aircraft whilst it was on a scheduled flight over the Crimean Peninsula,” the defence ministry said.

The media reports did not say how many people were on board, but they did not mention any survivors.

“The An-26 aircraft, with which communication was lost earlier, crashed into a cliff, it was reported to TASS from the site of the crash,” Tass reported.

RIA news agency said according to an initial assessment, technical problems were believed to have caused the crash.

Russia’s defence ministry did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

The An-26 has been in service since the late 1960s and has also been used by airlines to carry freight, but the model has been involved in a number of deadly crashes over the last decade.

A Ukrainian An-26 crashed during a technical flight in Ukraine’s south-eastern Zaporizhzhia region in 2022, killing one person. Another aircraft crashed on a training flight in north-eastern Ukraine in 2020, killing all but one of 27 on board.
