It exploded on impact and caught fire, about Шаблон:Convert from the airport in a deserted area. There are suggestions that the aircraft failed to gain altitude and deviated off its flight path.

After the cargo was unloaded, the plane "took off but then deviated from the course and crashed Шаблон:Convert away from the runway," an official from the Russian Emergencies Ministry told reporters. Reports suggest that in the days following the accident eleven bodies were pulled from the jet by rescuers.Шаблон:Cn

Russia's air force had temporarily grounded all Il-76 aircraft after an engine broke off the wing of a plane while it was attempting to takeoff earlier that year. It was reported that the ban was still in place at the time of the accident, and it is not yet clear as to why the jet was used when the model had been grounded.

A special commission of the Russian Interior Ministry was assigned to investigate the cause of the accident.
