According to Flightradar24, the plane that crashed in Greece last night around 11 p.m., about 40 kilometers from the airport in Kavala, was a Ukrainian Antonov An-12BK flying from Nis (in Serbia) to Amman (in Jordan).
According to initial information, there were eight people on the plane and all eight passengers were killed. The Antonov An-12BK reportedly carried 12 tons of cargo.
The mayor of Kavala, Theodoros Mouriadis, called on citizens to stay away from the accident site, as there is a danger of new explosions.
Journalist Vaso Morali wrote on Facebook that the plane also broke the transmission line when it fell.
– Around 10:50 p.m., the plane fell to the ground in flames, according to eyewitnesses, east of Nixiani and probably caught a power line during the fall. An explosion followed, a big flash was seen, and immediately afterward the electricity went out in Nikisiani, Georgiani, Agios Kristoforos, and Paleochori – wrote Morali.
