The Russian military airplane crashed into the Black Sea on the coast of the Russian city of Sochi over the weekend

The bodies were to be identified after they reached the Russian capital, Deputy Defence Minister, Pavel Popov, said as Russia held a national day of mourning

The ill-fated plane, en route to the Syrian port city of Latakia, vanished from the radar screens shortly after taking off from an airfield in the southern Russian city of Adler at 5.40am Moscow Time (0240 GMT), according to Russian media reports

At least four bodies have been recovered from the crash site, with major debris found about 1.5 kilometres from the coast
