From the Wikipedia article
On 9 August 2011, Avis-Amur Flight 9209, an Antonov An-12 cargo aircraft of Avis Amur crashed during a domestic flight from Magadan to Keperveyem, Russia, killing all 11 people on board. An engine fire was reported en route and the aircraft crashed while attempting to return to Magadan.
Accident
The aircraft took off from Sokol Airport in Magadan for Keperveyem Airport, carrying nine crew, two passengers, and 17.58 tonnes of cargo. A fuel leak was reported, followed by a report of an engine fire when the Antonov was near the village of Omsukchan, 230 nmi northeast of Magadan.
The aircraft turned around in an attempt to land back at Magadan, but shortly after disappeared from radar. The An-12 had crashed at a location variously reported to be 45 nmi or 200 km from Omsukchan; or about 170 nmi from Magadan; with the loss of all on board. Fog in the area hampered the search for the aircraft, which crashed in a forest. Debris was spread for 5 km.
Investigation and cause
Investigation
The Interstate Aviation Committee of the Commonwealth of Independent States opened an investigation into the accident. As a result of the accident, the operation of the Antonov An-12 within Russia was banned until a risk assessment programme had been completed.
