(Reuters) -Search and rescue teams have found three people, including two pilots, alive after their small plane made an emergency landing in the forests of Siberia on Tuesday, Russia's civil aviation authority said.

The Antonov An-2 had issued distress calls while flying over the Yakutia region. Authorities initially said five people were aboard the aircraft before revising the figure to three.
