The airplane departed Moscow on a flight to Leningrad with an intermediate stop in Khvoynaya, carrying 17 passengers, five crew members and 687 kilos of cargo.

All 22 occupants escaped with minor injuries while the airplane was destroyed.
Probable cause:
Failure of the right engine in flight because it was connected to the left rear fuel tank that was empty.
