At least four crew were killed on Friday when a Ukrainian Antonov-12 cargo airplane made an emergency landing near the western airport of Lviv after disappearing from radar, officials said.

The Soviet-designed four-engine plane vanished from radar at 7:10am (0410 GMT) when it was 13.7 km (8.5 miles) from the airport, the emergencies service said in a statement.

“Burning is not observed,” it added. “The crew is being removed from the damaged aircraft.”
