A Russian Ilyushin-76 military transport plane has crashed in the southern Belgorod region bordering Ukraine.
At least 65 people on board were killed, according to Russian reports quoting the ministry of defence.
Ria Novosti news agency said those on board included captured members of Ukraine's armed forces.
Regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said he was aware of an "incident" but gave no further details.
A video shared on social media shows an aircraft taking a downward turn before crashing out of sight.
EDIT - removed nitter link to russian retraction video, as dubious.
