A police spokesman for Afghanistan's Badakhshan province said on the same day that they received reports of a plane crash in the province on the night of January 20. Badakhshan province borders China, Tajikistan and Pakistan.

A rescue team has been sent to the crash site, but it is a remote area more than 200 kilometers from the provincial capital Fayzabad and will take 12 hours to reach, according to Zabihullah Amiri, a spokesman for the Badakhshan provincial government.

Russian authorities announced the opening of a criminal investigation to determine whether there were any violations of safety rules.
