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.
