From the Wikipedia article
On 12 March 2024, an Ilyushin Il-76 cargo plane crashed in Russia's Ivanovo Oblast. Fifteen people were on board when the aircraft crashed; eight crew and seven passengers. No survivors were found. Russian sources said one of its engines caught fire and the plane crashed soon after takeoff. Russia's defense ministry cited an engine fire as the most probable cause of the crash.
Flight
According to Denis Pasler, governor of Orenburg Oblast, the flight was carrying pilots from Orenburg. He added that they were from the 117th Military Transport Aviation Regiment. Meanwhile, the governor of Tver Oblast, Igor Rudenya, also said there were pilots from Tver.
The crash occurred at 13:00 Moscow time near Bogorodskoye District in Ivanovo Oblast. One of the aircraft's engines caught fire during takeoff for a routine flight. There were unconfirmed videos of the aircraft plummeting downwards with one engine on fire where it soon then detached. Another video showed a column of smoke rising upwards. The aircraft crashed while attempting to land at Ivanovo-Severny airfield.
