The Antonov An-26 aircraft crashed while trying to land during a training exercise.
At least two more people were critically injured.
Video posted by the Interior Ministry on Facebook showed the plane in flames lying near a road and smoke billowing upwards in the night sky.
One pilot had reported failure in the left engine of the twin-engined plane but experts say this would not have been a critical situation for an experienced pilot.
