Russian officials say all people aboard a Russian passenger plane that
crashed near the capital Moscow have lost their lives.
The Russian deputy healthcare minister added that efforts are underway
to identify the passengers. President Vladimir Putin has also ordered to
set up a government commission to probe into the crash. The Antonov
An-148 came down shortly after taking off from an airport in Moscow.
There were 65 passengers and 6 crew members aboard the plane. Russia
says numerous possible causes of the crash would be considered,
including weather conditions as the country has experienced record
snowfall in recent weeks. Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Ministry offered the
Islamic Republic’s condolences over the tragedy.
