Reports from Egypt have it that a Russian airliner has crashed in central Sinai with about 271 passengers and seven crew members on board.
Confirming this to BBC was the office of Egypt’s prime minister, which stated that the Airbus A-321 had just taken off from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, on its way to the Russian city of St Petersburg.
As at the time of filing this report, it was not clear yet where the plane crashed, as some suggested that it may have disappeared over Cyprus.
Most of the passengers on the plane operated by the Russian airline, Kogalymavia, were said to be Russian tourists.
