The military lost contact with the plane around 6 p.m. on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The Soviet-designed military transport turboprop aircraft crashed into a cliff, sources at the scene told state news agencies Tass and RIA Novosti.<\/p>\n<p>Russia&#8217;s Investigative Committee said a total of seven crew members and 23 passengers were on board. It wasn&#8217;t immediately clear from official statements if one crew member has survived.<\/p>\n<p>The Investigative Committee said it has launched a criminal probe in connection with flight regulations and a search is underway in a mountainous forested area in the Bakhchisarai district.<\/p>\n<p>The Interfax news agency cited the Defense Ministry as saying a suspected technical malfunction may have caused the crash and that there was no &#8220;damaging interference&#8221; with the aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and has since administered it as Russian. \u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Previous Russian military plane crashes<\/h2>\n<p>Accidents involving Russian military planes have been frequent since the Kremlin <span class=\"link\">sent troops into Ukraine<\/span>\u00a0in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>In December, an An-22 military transport plane crashed in Russia&#8217;s Ivanovo region, killing seven crew. In October, a MiG-31 fighter jet crashed in the Lipetsk region, while a Tu-22M3 bomber crashed in the Siberian region of Irkutsk in April 2025.<\/p>\n<p>In March 2024, a Russian military transport plane with <span class=\"link\">15 people on board<\/span> crashed while taking off from an air base in western Russia. That crash came just weeks after the same type of plane\u00a0<span class=\"link\">went down<\/span>\u00a0near the Ukrainian border.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2024, Russia said\u00a0<span class=\"link\">Ukraine had downed an Il-76<\/span>\u00a0&#8212; \u00a0carrying Ukrainian prisoners of war &#8212; near the countries&#8217; shared border. A U.S. official told CBS News at the time that there were no immediate indications that a missile fired from Ukraine had struck the plane, and that it remained unclear whether there were Ukrainians on board the aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2022, a <span class=\"link\">Su-34 bomber crashed<\/span> into a residential area of Yeysk, a Russian city on the Azov sea, sparking a massive fire and killing 15 people.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
