170 holidaymakers died today when the Russian plane carrying them home crashed and burst into flames in eastern Ukraine after it was struck by lightning.
The Russian Emergencies Ministry said there were no survivors.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin has declared tomorrow a national day of mourning for the victims, who an airline official said included 10 crew and 39 children.
The dead included Dutch nationals, but most of the passengers were Russian.
The plane belonging to the Russian airline Pulkovo was flying from Anapa to Saint Petersburg. It sent a distress signal at 3.37pm, and crashed 45km north of Donetsk.
Air traffic control data showed the crew had sharply reduced height after the plane encountered problems.
They may then have tried to crash-land, but the jet slammed into the ground and exploded.
Ukrainian rescue teams located the wreckage, which was still burning on the ground.
Rescue workers on the scene recovered 30 bodies from the debris.
Anapa is a popular resort town on Russia's Black Sea coast and is usually packed with holidaymakers in August.
In May, 113 people died when an Armenian airliner crashed into the Black Sea near the coastal town of Sochi during bad weather.
