   An airliner flying from Dubai has crashed while trying to land in the
   southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don. Russian state media say all 61
   people on board the plane are believed dead.

   A government statement acknowledging the crash says the plane was a
   Boeing 738. Russia's Transport Ministry told RIA Novosti that there
   were no survivors.

   The FlyDubai airline has announced on social media that it is aware of
   "an incident" involving its  flight FZ981 from Dubai to Rostov-on-Don.

   A local emergencies official in Rostov-on-Don said the plane caught
   fire after crashing.

   weather with strong wind gusts.
