A Russian Tu-95 nuclear-capable bomber crashes during a training flight, killing at least six people, according to Russia’s Defence Ministry and state media reports. Both outlets say the aircraft goes down in an uninhabited area of the Amur region.
The reports describe the crash as occurring while the crew is carrying out training. They cite the Defence Ministry’s account of the incident and provide no additional details on the cause or what the flight involved. Both outlets place the crash in Russia’s Amur region, near Russia’s border with China, and do not mention survivors or injuries beyond the confirmed fatalities.
While both sources largely align on the location, aircraft type and death toll, they differ slightly in wording—one refers to “killing six people,” while the other frames the figure as “at least six on board.” Neither outlet provides further investigation findings in the initial reports.
