SOCHI, May 4 (RIA Novosti) - A second radio beacon is believed to have been discovered at the site where an Armenian Airbus A-320 airliner crashed off Russia's Black Sea coast, an emergencies ministry official said Thursday.
He said a radio signal had been detected near the point where another signal had been detected earlier in the day.
The plane, belonging to Armenia's Armavia Airlines, crashed while flying from the country's capital Yerevan to an airport in Adler, which services the Russian resort of Sochi. The A-320 plummeted into the sea about six kilometers from the Russian coast. All 113 passengers and crew were killed.
An Emergency Situations Ministry official in Moscow said the first radio signal, picked up by Airbus specialists, had yet to be identified.
"It is premature to say that the signal picked up from the seabed near Sochi is from the flight recorder," Andrei Legoshin said.
Experts from European aircraft producer Airbus are using special equipment to search for flight data recorders from the plane. Two emergencies ministry teams are also working at the site, using radars to pick up signals.
Transportation Minister Igor Levitin said earlier on Thursday that parts of the plane had been found at a depth of 680 meters (2,230 feet).
