Template:Infobox aircraft occurrence On 12 March 2024, an Ilyushin Il-76 transport aircraft crashed within Russia's Ivanovo Oblast.[1] The aircraft was carrying fifteen individuals at the time of the crash, including eight crew members and seven passengers.[2] There were no survivors. According to Russian sources, one engine caught fire shortly after takeoff, which led to the crash.[3] The Russian Ministry of Defence identified an engine fire as the likely cause behind the accident.[4]

Flight

Denis Pasler, governor of Orenburg Oblast, reported that the flight included pilots originating from Orenburg. He specified that these individuals belonged to the 117th Military Transport Aviation Regiment.[5] Additionally, Igor Rudenya, governor of Tver Oblast, confirmed that pilots from Tver were also among those on board.[6]

The incident took place at approximately 13:00 Moscow time close to Bogorodskoye District within Ivanovo Oblast. During takeoff for a scheduled mission, one of the aircraft’s engines ignited.[7] Unverified footage circulated showing the plane descending rapidly with an engine ablaze before it detached. Another clip depicted a plume of smoke ascending.[8] The aircraft ultimately crashed while attempting to return to land at Ivanovo-Severny airfield.[5]

Aftermath

Emergency responders reached the scene of the accident and successfully put out the fire. Stanislav Voskresensky, the governor of Ivanovo Oblast, confirmed that nearby villages remained unharmed and expressed his sympathies to the families affected by the tragedy. On the same day, the Ministry of Emergency Situations wrapped up their search and rescue efforts. According to a ministry official speaking to TASS, all 15 individuals aboard the aircraft perished in the incident.

The Russian Defense Ministry announced that a delegation from the Russian Aerospace Forces had been dispatched to Ivanovo Oblast to conduct an investigation into the crash. Preliminary findings indicated that an engine fire was probably responsible for the accident.
