A passenger jet has crashed in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, killing all 55 passengers and seven crew on board, officials have said.
The FlyDubai Boeing 737-800, coming from Dubai, missed the runway as it attempted to land at 03:50 local time (00:50 GMT) on Saturday.
It is not clear what caused the crash, but poor visibility and high winds are being considered as a factor, the BBC reports.
Most of the victims were Russian. Four children were among the dead.
FlyDubai said 44 Russians, eight Ukrainians, two Indians and an Uzbek were killed. All were passengers.
All but one of the crew were Russians, a Russian emergency ministry statement said, without giving further details.
CCTV footage showed an explosion and a huge flash after the plane crashed.
“The aircraft hit the ground and broke into pieces,” the BBC quoted Investigative Committee of Russia s saying on its website.
