Russian cargo plane crash leaves 11 dead

MOSCOW - A Russian cargo plane crashed on Tuesday in the remote Far East after reporting engine trouble and disappearing off radars, apparently killing all 11 on board in the latest in a spate of air accidents.

Transport prosecutors said in a statement that the aging Soviet plane came down in a hard-to-reach area of the Magadan region, hundreds of kilometers from the nearest village.

"The remains of the plane were found 200 km from Omsukchan village," said the transport authorities for the Far East region.
