The investigation into Sunday's Tu-154 plane crash has found no signs of a terrorist attack so far, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) said in a statement to the Interfax news agency Monday.
The main scenarios under investigation now include a foreign object getting sucked into the engine, low-quality fuel causing engine malfunction, pilot error, and technical failure, the statement said.
“Currently no evidence or information proving the possibility of a terrorist attack...have been uncovered,” the FSB spokesperson said. The FSB added that witnesses to the plane crash and a video from a car's dashboard camera have been found.
Earlier on Monday, Russian news agencies reported that some of bodies recovered from the crash site were wearing lifejackets. The reports quoted witnesses who saw the bodies being transported, as well as anonymous sources familiar with the investigation.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
