A Russian military passenger plane carrying 92 people on board, plunged into the Black Sea minutes after it took off en route Sunday to a military base in Syria.

"Of course, the entire spectrum and almost any possible causes ... are being probed, but it is premature now to speak about this" as a terrorist act, Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov said. Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, a Russian military spokesman, said, "The area of the crash site has been established. No survivors have been spotted."

The plane crash news came as a shock to Russia, as its ambassador to Turkey, Andrei Karlov, was fatally shot in public, just a few days ago, by a man shouting slogans about the war in Syria, an assassination captured live on video. Moscow and Ankara, since then is willing to work together and is trying to bring a settlement to the Syrian conflict, along with Iran.
