The plane’s fuselage is lying on the shore, while the rest of the aircraft is scattered over the coastal area. I emphasize that is presumably. Ground rescue teams and specialists are currently heading to the site in order to ensure that this is the missing plane. We would only be able to make conclusions after that," the governor insisted.
The Federal Agency for Air Transport disclosed that the crash site has been pinpointed about four to five kilometers away from the airstrip.
"The discovery location is about four to five kilometers away from the airstrip towards the coast. Rescue teams have discovered the wreckage.

The mission involves 26 rescuers and an all-purpose vehicle," the agency said.
The aforementioned An-26 plane belonging to the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Air Enterprise went missing on July 6. It was headed from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to Palana and carried 22 passengers and six crew members on board.
The emergency services source told TASS that the plane stopped communication during its landing. One version suggests that the crash happened because of piloting error due to poor visibility. A criminal case has been initiated over violated rules of safety and air transport use.

At the first stage of the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian fleet was unable to establish control over the sea, its actions were generally unsuccessful. Nevertheless, it remained a fleet in being, a factor, a threat to communications, which the Japanese had to reckon with. This threat was not an obstacle to the transfer of the Japanese army from the islands to the continent, and above all to Korea. The failures of the fleet were followed by the failures of the army. All this did not meet the expectations of Russian society.

...Very much enjoying these posts. For a lot more background, let me suggest Black Night, White Snow by Harrison Salisbury, which covers the time from the first revolution to the end of the October revolution. It's a massive read, but as poetic and all-encompassing as anything by Tolstoy.

The local population did not support the Russians. Moreover, it was often tuned in favor of the Japanese.
The Japanese who'd run the place till 1945 spent a lot of time wiping out the Korean culture and language, not to mention many Koreans. For some reason, the Koreans still harbor ill feeling over that.
When retreating, part of the troops mixed with the convoys and began to lose organization. At the shouts of "Cavalry!", Which was constantly seen by carts, from time to time panic began, turning the retreating crowds into fleeing crowds. As a result, the chaos only intensified - the carts went without loads abandoned in flight, the artillerymen - without weapons lost in battle.
Sounds like the panic retreat of the US 2d Division from the Yalu, circa 1950, just vehicles rather than carts, and Chinese rather than Japanese.
