Military aircraft crashes while landing in Kazakhstan

The Antonov An-26 plane, operated by Kazakhstan’s border guard agency, crashed after narrowly missing the runway while landing, Kazakh officials said.

At least two crew survived the crash, according to the Russian state RIA-Novosti news agency.

The Antonov An-26 plane, a twin-engined turboprop civilian and military transport aircraft, was designed in the 1960s.

Hundreds have remained in service in former Soviet states and other countries around the world. (ILKHA)
