MOSCOW, November 1 (RIA Novosti) - Rescuers have found flight recorders from a Russian Interior Ministry plane that crashed in Yakutia in the Far East early on Sunday, killing all eleven crewmembers, the TV channel Vesti said on its website.

The plane, an Il-76 Candid strategic airlifter, bound for the city of Irkutsk, fell and caught fire several minutes after take-off about three kilometers (1.9 miles) from Mirny airport. Seven crew as well as four members from a replacement crew had been on board.

"All eleven people died in the air crash," a spokesman for the ministry's regional center said.

Facilities on the ground were not damaged. An investigation is underway.
