Ukraine’s National Bureau of Investigation has named four likely causes of the An-26 military transport plane’s crash in the northeastern Kharkiv Region on Friday, APA reports quoting TASS.

"Investigators are checking such theories: the crash due to a technical malfunction of the plane’s system, the crash due to negligence of the crew while performing their duties, negligence of persons who were responsible for controlling the flights and negligence during the technical maintenance of the plane and its preparations for the flight," the press service said.

Note that earlier, Ukrainian Defense Minister Andrei Taran suggested that the plane’s wing could have hit the ground.
