As noted by TASS, there were about 100 people on board the IL-76.

Most of the arrivals are Russians of Afghan origin.

Earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, on behalf of President Vladimir Putin, organized the evacuation from Afghanistan by military transport aircraft of more than 500 citizens of Russia, other CSTO member countries and Ukraine.

It was later reported that four Russian military aircraft took Russians, citizens of Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine from Kabul and are heading for Russia.
