A group of Soviet air force generals and other officers stationed in the Carpathian Mountains “tragically perished” in the line of duty last week, the Soviet military newspaper Red Star reported.

Western sources said the officers probably died in a plane crash in the Carpathians, which stretch from southern Poland into Romania.
