According to Kremlin statement, "President Vladimir Putin has ordered the government to probe the crash of a Syria-bound military plane carrying 92 people including more than 60 Red Army Choir members".
"Fragments of the Tu-154 plane of the Russian defence ministry were found 1.5 kilometres from the Black Sea coast of the city of Sochi at a depth of 50 to 70 metres," the ministry said.
Earlier on Sunday, a Russian military plane crashed in the Black Sea as it made its way to Syria with 92 people onboard, including more than 60 Red Army Choir members on their way to celebrate the New Year with troops.
