Russia's Defence Ministry has said the wreckage of the military plane that crashed into the Black Sea on Christmas Day - killing all 92 people on board - shows no signs of damage from an explosion or fire, Russian media reported.
More than 3,000 people have been involved in the search for victims' bodies and aircraft debris. Two black boxes have since been recovered.
More than two thirds of the 92 passengers on board the Russian military plane that has crashed into the Black Sea were musicians from the celebrated Alexandrov Ensemble choir.
Sixty-four members of the military's official choir, including its leader Valery Khalilov, were listed among the passengers.
The Ensemble, which debuted in 1928, became known around the world for its performances involving the all-male singers, orchestra and dancers.
It was named after the choir's founding director and writer of the Soviet Union's national anthem Alexander Vasilyevich Alexandrov.
The Alexandrov Ensemble were flying from Sochi to perform a concert at Russia's Hmeymim air base in Syria.
