      Head of Rosaviation Alexander Neradko confirmed from Cairo on Sunday that the crashed plane's two black boxes have already been found at the Airbus-321 crash site in Sinai and soon they will be decoded.

      Speaking to the press, Neradko said that "these recorders were extracted from the crash site and currently our colleagues have them." He also confirmed that later both devices "will be decoded and our specialists will take part in this decoding."

      Kogalymavia flight 7K9268 is reported to have crashed in Sinai around 23 minutes after take-off. There were a total of 224 people on board - 217 passengers, including 25 children, and seven crew members, with reports indicating that all but five passengers - four Ukrainians and one Belarussian - were Russian. The relatives of the victims are currently being treated by psychologists in the Crowne Plaza Hotel in St. Petersburg.

      The bodies of the victims of the plane crash will be transferred to St. Petersburg at night on Sunday or early morning on Monday, said Deputy Head of Emergencies Ministry Vladimir Stepanov in a statement from Moscow on Sunday.
