Circumstances:
On final approach to Bereznik by night, the left engine lost power. The crew initiated a go-around manoeuvre but the aircraft banked left, descended and struck tree tops at a speed of 160 km/h before crashing in a wooded area. All 4 crew and 4 out of 16 passengers were injured while all other occupants escaped uninjured.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the cable connected to the left engine throttle lever disconnected on approach, causing the rpm to drop.
