Debris from missing plane found on Russian Far East Kamchatka peninsula

Debris from a passenger plane carrying 28 people which went missing in the Russian Far East on Tuesday has been found, officials say.

The An-26 aircraft lost contact with air traffic control shortly before it was due to land in the settlement of Palana, in the north of the remote Kamchatka peninsula. It is thought unlikely that anyone survived the crash.

The plane was flying from the regional centre Petropavlovsk. Officials said that communication with the plane had been lost 9km (5.5 miles) from Palana airport, 10 minutes before it was scheduled to land.

Unconfirmed reports say it hit a rock as it was coming in to land. It is thought that it then crashed on the coast.
In a statement posted on the Kamchatka regional government's website, Governor Vladimir Solodov said fragments of the fuselage were found both on the shore and in the sea.
