A Russian transport plane crashed in Syria killing all 32 people on board, the Russian defence ministry says.
The Antonov-26 aircraft crashed at Russia's Khmeimim airbase in Latakia province, Russian media quoted the ministry as saying.
Initial information suggested the crash may have
been caused by a technical fault. The aircraft hit the ground about 500 metres short of the runway, the ministry said.
Twenty-six passengers and six crew members were on the aircraft when it went down at about 3pm Moscow time (12:00GMT).
