Twenty foreigners died in the passenger plane crash in the Russian Urals earlier this month, the Russian Transport Ministry said Wednesday.
According to the latest data, the victims include seven citizens of Azerbaijan, six Ukrainians, and one national each from France, Italy, Germany, Uzbekistan, Turkey, China and Belarus.
The airplane's black boxes were almost decoded, with information being clarified and voices identified, the ministry said in a statement.
A broad range of issues, including the training of pilots, airport and airline personnel and the airplane's operational conditions, are under investigation, the statement said.
A Boeing 737 on a flight from Moscow to the central Russian city of Perm, went down on Sept. 14 in the central Ural mountains, killing all 88 people on board.
The plane, operated by Aeroflot's subsidiary Aeroflot Nord, was believed to have caught fire and exploded before falling.
