On final approach to Vladivostok Airport in limited visibility, the airplane struck the antenna of a radio station. Upon impact, an engine failed and the captain decided to attempt an emergency landing in a field located few km short of runway. There were no injuries among the occupants while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. For unknown reason, the approach was continued below the glide.
