Divers have recovered fragments of the Russian passenger jet that crashed into the Black Sea, killing all 92 people on board.

A search for bodies is taking place after a Russian military plane carrying 92 people crashed in the Black Sea.

Pilot error or a technical fault is thought to be the cause of Sunday's Black Sea plane crash that killed 92 people, Russia's transport minister has said as the nation held a day of mourning for the victims.

The Russian plane that crashed in Egypt was not struck from the outside and the pilot did not make a distress call before it disappeared from radar, a source in the committee analysing the flight recorders said yesterday.
