MOSCOW, June 28 (RIA Novosti) - Three people were injured after an Antonov An-2 biplane made an emergency landing in Russia’s far eastern Khabarovsk Territory, local Emergencies Ministry’s department said on Friday.
“Three people were injured, one of them being in critical condition, as a result of An-2 plane’s emergency landing near the village of Nekrasovka,” the department said in a statement.
According to the statement, the biplane carried a total of seven people, including two crewmembers and five passengers.
