Five people have died and 13 injured when a plane carrying parachute students crash-landed near the Ukrainian capital Kiev.
Survivors have been rushed to hospital from the airfield near the town of Borodyanka in the north of the country.
The Let L-410 failed to land properly due to heavy rain and stormy winds, Ukraine’s emergency service reported.
An investigation into the incident has been launched.
The L-410 is a twin-engine short-range transport aircraft developed in the 1960s in Czechoslovakia. About half of the more than 1,100 planes built remain in service. The aircraft can carry up to 19 people on board depending on the version.
