ADLER, Russia — An Armenian passenger plane crashed in stormy weather today off Russia's Black Sea coast as it was heading for a landing, killing all 113 people on board — most of them Armenians.

The Airbus A-320, which belonged to the Armenian airline Armavia, disappeared from radar screens about four miles from shore and crashed after making a turn toward the Adler airport near the southern Russian city of Sochi, emergency official Viktor Beltsov said.

Officials said all 113 people aboard the plane, including six children, were killed.

Armenian airline officials said they believed the crash was due to the weather — driving rain and low visibility. Investigators did not believe terrorism was a factor.

The crash occurred early Wednesday during a flight from the Armenian capital of Yerevan to Sochi, a resort city on the Black Sea about 350 miles away.
