A Russian military plane with at least nine people on board has crashed in the country's Far East, officials say.
They say the Tu-142 anti-submarine jet went down in the Tatar Strait during a training flight shortly after 1100 GMT.
It is not known if there were survivors in the crash, about 15km (nine miles) off the coast, although one report said some human remains had been found.
The Tu-142 is a maritime reconnaissance aircraft widely used by the Soviet navy.
Sad news not looking good but lets hope for the best

It's a turbo-prop which is technically a jet engine with an air-screw (propeller) attached.
Hope there are survivors.
