Emergency officials in Belarus say at least five people have been killed in the crash of a Russian business jet near Minsk tonight.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Emergency Services said there were three passengers and three crew members aboard the plane when it crashed into a region of swamp.
The fate of the sixth person reportedly on board was not immediately known.
The spokesman says the plane belonged to S-Air, a Moscow company that runs a fleet of luxury private jets.
Minsk had experienced rain and fog throughout the day.
