A Russian plane carrying at least 18 people that went missing on Friday in the Siberian region of Tomsk has been found. All onboard have been found alive, news reports said quoting officials.
The An-28 plane, operated by Siberian Light Aviation (SiLA), was flying from the town of Kedrovy to the regional capital Tomsk when communication was lost, the government said.
The officials later announced that the plane had been found, apparently after making a "hard landing", and that survivors had been seen.
Russian news agencies quoted officials saying it appeared that all the passengers and crew had survived.
The latest incident follows a July 6 crash of an An-26 plane in Russia's far eastern Kamchatka peninsula, killing all 28 people on board.
