A high-ranking Russian military officer has been confirmed dead following a plane crash in Crimea that claimed 30 lives.
Alexander Otroshchenko, who led the air force and air defence operations for the Northern Fleet's 45th Army, perished in the incident, according to Andrei Chibis, the governor of Murmansk region, where the fleet maintains its headquarters.
The fatal crash occurred on March 31 when an An-26 military transport aircraft collided with a cliff in the Russian-occupied peninsula.
Mr Chibis was cited by Russian media outlets confirming the senior commander's death, marking one of the most significant military losses for Russia's armed forces in recent months.
