    [font=Times, 'Time New Roman', sans-serif]A Silk Way Airlines Antonov AN-12, performing a cargo flight from Camp Dwyer to an unspecified location (Afghanistan) with 9 crew, lost height after an engine had failed on departure from Camp Dwyer before 19:00L (14:30Z). Seven occupants perished in the resulting impact with terrain. Two Ukrainian crew members survived with serious injuries and have been taken to a hospital in critical condition.[/font]

    [font=Times, 'Time New Roman', sans-serif]Azerbaijan's Accident Investigation Commission dispatched an investigating team to Camp Dwyer and is going to investigate (Silk Way is based in Azerbaijan). The crew consisted of an Uzbekistan citizen (Captain), 3 Ukrainians and 5 Azeris.[/font]

    [font=Times, 'Time New Roman', sans-serif]Silk Way Airlines operate, amongst other aircraft types, 2 Antonov AN-12BP (4K-AZ23 and 4K-AZ63), 2 Antonov AN-12BK (4K-AZ33 and 4K-AZ93) and an Antonov AN-12B (4K-AZ25). 4K-AZ25 was seen positioning from Baku (Azerbaijan) to Bagram (Afghanistan) early May 18th 2016. 4K-AZ93 was seen operating into Baku on May 18th and did not leave Baku again.[/font]

    Once again, may they RIP.
