Aviation accident in Soviet Armenia

On 11 December 1988, an Ilyushin Il-76 aircraft crashed. Operated by the Soviet Air Force, the flight participated in relief efforts after an earthquake struck Armenia on 7 December. The aircraft crashed into a mountainside during an attempt to land at Leninakan, Armenia, killing 77 of the 78 occupants on board. To date, it is the worst aviation disaster in Armenia.
