Narrative:An Ilyushin 18V sustained substantial damage in an accident near Tiksi, Russia. All 7 crew and 30 passengers were injured, 16 of them seriously.
The aircraft operated on a flight from Yekaterinburg to Tiksi with an en route stop at Kansk Air Base. The accident occurred during the final leg of the flight.
