Rescue operations underway in Kazakhstan's largest city, Almaty, after Bek Air plane crash kills at least 12

Emergency and security personnel are seen at the site of a plane crash near Almaty, Kazakhstan, December 27, 2019.

Almaty International Airport officials said at least 12 people died on Friday in the crash of a Bek Air plane in Kazakhstan. The aircraft had 100 passengers and crew abroad, and hit a concrete fence and a two-story building shortly after takeoff. Airport officials said there was no fire and a rescue operation got underway immediately following the crash. The aircraft was identified as a Fokker-100, a medium-sized, twin-turbofan jet airliner.

The company manufacturing the aircraft went bankrupt in 1996 and the production of the Fokker-100 stopped the following year.
