From the Wikipedia article

The An-2 crash near Karatayka was an aviation accident that occurred on 9 January 2023. An An-2 aircraft operating the Ust-Kara — Karatayka — Naryan-Mar flight encountered difficult weather conditions on approach to Karatayka, which caused icing of the aircraft. The crew decided to proceed to the alternate aerodrome at Varandey, but the aircraft began to lose altitude and made a hard landing 10 kilometres from the settlement of Karatayka. The co-pilot and a female passenger were killed, and 5 people suffered serious injuries. The probable cause of the crash was icing of the aircraft.
