A Russian Tu-95MS strategic bomber crashed in Amur Oblast during a training flight Monday, killing all six crew members, according to Russia's Defense Ministry and multiple military bloggers. The aircraft, based at the Ukrainka air base and used to launch Kh-101 cruise missiles at Ukraine, reportedly suffered failures in three engines during takeoff.

Early reports from pro-Russian channels misidentified the aircraft as a Tu-154 transport plane carrying seven people, with the death toll initially reported as lower before rising to six after two service members died en route to the hospital.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.
