“After refueling, it was decided that the An-26 would again fly out in search of the missing aircraft. Before returning to the airport, the search was conducted for seven hours in a difficult area, in the foothills of the Sayan Mountains. Now the search territory has been expanded, ”the source said.

It is noted that there is still no information about the missing plane.

Earlier, the East Siberian Transport Administration of the Investigative Committee of Russia organized a preliminary investigation into the disappearance of the An-2 aircraft in Buryatia.
