A Russian An-24 aircraft carrying 49 people crashed this morning in a heavily-wooded area in the Amur Oblast of Eastern Russia, with preliminary reports indicating no survivors. Separately, Sweden is preparing a new aid package for Ukraine, according to Ukrainian Minister of Defense Denys Shmyhal, with further details expected soon. Meanwhile, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stated that Ukraine will have the ability to influence Russian territory with supplied weapons, though the specific types will not be disclosed to Russia. The An-24 plane, which had been reported missing, was found with its fuselage discovered on the slope of a mountain approximately 15 km from Tynda, Russia, according to TASS. Operational services are considering crew error during landing in poor visibility as a possible cause of the crash, as reported by TASS. The aircraft had reportedly attempted to land twice due to bad weather, according to an Al-Arabiya correspondent.
