A Soviet-era Antonov-24 with 30 passengers landed on a frozen river near Zyryanka in Russia's far east due to pilot error, as confirmed by transport prosecutors.
The Polar Airlines An-24 landed safely on the Kolyma river, and all passengers disembarked without casualties. The incident occurred outside the Zyryanka airport runway.
All 30 passengers safely disembarked. No casualties reported. The pilots said they "confused" it with their landing strip.
