On 18 January 2015, an Antonov An-26 operated by the Syrian Air Force crashed while attempting to land at the besieged Abu al-Duhur military airport in Idlib Governorate, Syria. The plane was carrying troops as well as military equipment and ammunition.[3] There were 35 people on board,[1] 30 Syrian soldiers[4] and 5 Iranian military experts.[5]

Syrian state media and the pro-insurgent SOHR, said that the crash was due to heavy fog or "technical issues"[1][6][4] and that the plane hit an electricity pylon.[7] However, Al-Qaeda affiliated group Al-Nusra Front claimed that they shot it down.[1][8][9]

Syrian media provided a list with the names of the 30 Syrian soldiers who were killed.[4] Per SOHR, 13 Syrian officers were among the fatalities.[5]
