Two Russians, two Ukrainians and three Belarusians were on board the plane that belongs to the Belarusian Grodno airlines, Xinhua news agency reported.
The crash of the An-12, which has been in operation since 1968, caused a fire on the ground and the fire has been put out.
Bad weather conditions, a human error and a technical malfunction, including an engine failure due to a collision with birds, are being considered as the possible reasons for the tragedy.
