A Russian passenger plane carrying 71 people has crashed outside Moscow after taking off from the capital's Domodedovo airport.
The Antonov An-148 plane operated by the domestic Saratov Airlines was flying to Orsk, a city in the Urals. It crashed in the Ramensky district on the outskirts of Moscow. Russian news agencies say no one is believed to have survived.
A source from the airport told agencies the plane disappeared from radars within two minutes of taking off. The country's transport ministry said several causes for the crash are being considered, including weather conditions and human error.
