A Syrian-bound Russian military plane carrying 92 people including Red Army Choir members has crashed in the Black Sea moments after taking off from Sochi.
The Tu-154 model plane, which belonged to the Russian defense ministry, crashed shortly after take-off from the southern city of Adler at 5.40am (2.40am GMT). 

One body has been recovered six kilometres off the coast of the resort city of Sochi, as a frantic search operation continued to find the missing.


Among the passengers were musicians thought to be from the Alexandrov Ensemble, one of the world's most famous military choirs.

Russian emergency services reportedly later found wreckage and personal items in the Black Sea, between one and four miles off the Sochi coast.
