An Il-76 aircraft has crashed by end of runway of Gao airport, Mali.
Local sources report the crash of an IL-76 transport aircraft in the Gao region of Mali.
There is speculation that the plane may have belonged to the “Wagner” company.

ASN report - so far - here: https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/345861
It links to a source article that says the plane 'missed its landing'. The Wagner suggestion comes from a commenter below it, who also suggests the plane had been shot at. He is then called dishonest by another commenter, stating to be in Gao himself.

Up until a few days ago, there was no Il-76 known to the Soviet Transports team as being TZ-registered.

Seems they are not too successful flying Russian planes.
2 Su-25, 2 L-39, multiple Hinds/Hips kost in recent months…. And then this Ilyushin.
