- Location: Izobilnoye Krasnodar Krai, Russia

- Cause: Poor weather support on the route took the aircraft unexpectedly into a cold front with thunderstorms, and excessive loads while recovering from a steep descent broke the aircraft apart.
An Aeroflot Lisunov Li 2 on a cargo flight from Baku to Dnipropetrovsk, carrying two engine factory representatives, broke up in the air while crossing a cold front with thunderstorms and crashed in a field 10 km north of Izobilnoye. All six people on board were killed. The commission blamed poor weather forecasting and air traffic service errors.
