A Khabarovsk Airlines Antonov AN-24, registration RA-46643 performing flight RNI-474 from Okha to Khabarovsk (Russia) with 27 passengers and 5 crew, was climbing through FL170 out of Okha when all electrical power was lost from the aircraft resulting in failure of communication, navigation and other systems depending on electrical power.
