One killed in transport plane crash in Ukraine, fog to blame - authorities
One person was killed and two were injured on Friday when a transport plane in southern Ukraine descended too low in fog and hit high-voltage power lines, local authorities said.
The accident occurred in the Zaporizhzhia region, the authorities said in a Facebook post. The twin-propellor Antonov An-26 had been on a technical flight from Zaporizhzhia to Uzhhorod, some 970 km (600 miles) away, they said.
