Eleven people have been killed when a Russian military cargo plane crashed on takeoff in Siberia.
Officials said all the crew members on board died in the crash on Sunday.
No one on the ground was reported hurt.
Vasily Panchenkov, a spokesman for the Interior Troops, which were flying the aircraft, said the aircraft had banked to the right and had been unable to gain altitude.
The four-engine plane had just taken off from the city of Mirny in the Sakha Republic.
(...) Russia has one of the world's worst air safety records, with elderly Soviet-era aircraft, dated airport facilities, poor maintenance and lax standards contributing to a high number of crashes.
