MOSCOW, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 30th May, 2017 ) - A Russian serviceman was killed and five others injured Tuesday when their transport plane crash landed and caught fire after a training flight near the central city of Saratov, authorities said.
Russia's defence ministry said the incident, which took place at around 6:00 am (0300 GMT), could have been caused by failure of one of the engines of the plane, an Antonov AN-26.
