At least 20 people are feared dead after a passenger plane crashed near Kazakhstan's commercial capital, Almaty.
The CRJ-200 aircraft was travelling from the northern town of Kokshetau.
Kazakhstan's Scat airlines said it believed everyone on board died when it crashed in heavy fog at 1300 local time (0700GMT) on approach to Almaty.
Last month a military plane carrying top Kazakh security officials crashed, killing all 27 on board.
"According to preliminary information there are no survivors," the airline said on Tuesday in a statement quoted by the Interfax news agency.
The statement added that 20 people were on board the aircraft.
Earlier reports quoted officials as saying that 21 people - 15 passengers and six crew members - were on the plane.
Details about the crash are still emerging but it was a very foggy day and visibility was poor, reports the BBC's Abdujalil Abdurasulov from Almaty.
An emergency team is working at the site near the village of Kyzyl Tu.
They will soon announce if weather conditions or other factors were to blame for the crash, our correspondent says.
Almaty's deputy mayor Maulen Mukashev visited the site of the crashed Canadian-built Bombardier plane, Reuters news agency reports.
"The preliminary cause of the accident is bad weather," Mr Mukashev is quoted as saying. "Not a single part of the plane was left intact after it came down."
A government commission has been set up to investigate the causes of the crash.
Established in 1997, Scat airlines is based in Kazakhstan with its main base at Shymkent airport - it operates extensive domestic services as well as some international flights.
