Drone footage captured the smoldering wreckage of a Boeing 747 cargo jet in the devastated village of Dacha-Suu in Kyrgyzstan on Monday, after the plane crashed into the settlement just outside the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek earlier in the day, killing at least 37 people. The plane was reportedly carrying just four crew members, but crashed into the village of Dacha-Suu, just 15 miles from the capital, and killed dozens of civilians on the ground. All of the crew reportedly died in the crash. Some 32 residential buildings in the village were destroyed. The Turkish MyCargo Airlines flight, operating the flight route TK6491, was flying from Hong Kong to Istanbul with a stopover in the Kyrgyz capital. All flights to and from Kyrgyzstan's Manas International Airport have been suspended.
Seventy one people, including three foreign nationals and six crew members, were killed when Saratov Airlines flight 6W703 crashed shortly after take-off. The plane was flying to the city of Orsk when it vanished from radar screens shortly after it took off from Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport, before crashing some 50 miles south-east of the capital. According to the Russian Transport Ministry a special committee is investigating the cause of the deadly crash.

The resumption of flights has stirred protests in Georgia, as Moscow fought a brief but bloody war with Georgia and recognised two separatist territories in the north of the country as independent.
