A Let L-410UVP-E20, travelling from Irkutsk Airport (IKT/UIII), Russia to Kazachinskoye Airport (UITK) Russia, was destroyed when it crashed in a forest about 4 km short of the runway near  Kazachinskoye Airport.

Four people have died and five more were injured following the crash-landing which had 14 passengers and 2 crew members.

The crash happened in Russia's Irkutsk Region earlier on Sunday,
The plane crashed on an island in a river from a low altitude in conditions of thick fog according to reports.

The aircraft was owned and operated by Aeroservice, but according to the media, the flight was a combined flight for Aeroservice and SiLA (Siberian Light Aviation).

This is the second crash for SiLa in a matter of months.

Back on the 16th July an Antonov An-28 airplane (RA-28728) flipped over during a forced landing between Kedrovo and Tomsk, Russia. All aboard survived the accident.

A survivor reported that both engines had failed in icing conditions, necessitating a forced landing.
