A Russian military transport aircraft crashed in occupied Crimea, killing all 29 people on board. The An-26 transport plane was carrying 23 passengers and six crew members when it went down, according to rescue services. No survivors were reported from the incident. Crimea has been under Russian occupation since 2014, when Russia annexed the Ukrainian peninsula following its military intervention. The region serves as a key logistical hub for Russian military operations, including the ongoing war in Ukraine that began with Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.
