A small Russian passenger plane on Friday made an emergency landing in Siberia after an engine failure, emergency officials said. All of its 19 passengers and crew survived.
Soon after the An-28 plane disappeared in the Tomsk region in western Siberia, rescue helicopters spotted it lying in a field on its belly.
Emergency officials said that the passengers and crew did not sustain any serious injuries and were being flown by helicopters to the city of Tomsk.
The crew made an emergency landing after one of its two engines failed, Russian news reports said.
