A Sakha Avia An-12 cargo flight from Moscow to Yakutsk, with stops at Omsk and Bratsk, lost all four engines on approach to Omsk-Tsentralny. The captain made a belly landing in a snow-covered field near Luzino, about 22 km west of the airport, and the aircraft struck a car while sliding to a stop. All 10 people aboard survived, but the aircraft was written off.
