Media citing a source in the BTA: The cause of the crash of An-26 in Syria has become known

Newspaper Kommersant citing a source in the military transport aviation The Russian Federation writes that “damaged flaps” became the cause of the crash.
According to these statements, when flaps were released, one was actually torn out, which resulted in a sharp roll of the aircraft. On landing An-26, in which a 39 man flew from the Kweiris airbase to Khmeimim, turned at a significant angle. It is stated that an unexpected roll during the landing did not allow the transport aircraft crew to take urgent measures to save the car and people. As a result, the plane began to dive from a height of "a few hundred meters."
From the material:
What exactly was the cause of damage to the flaps, not reported. Nor is it reported whether An-26 underwent a proper pre-flight inspection.
Recall that earlier the Russian Ministry of Defense immediately dismissed the version of the attack on the plane from the ground and the impact of weather conditions.

In this case, neither photos nor video frames with a crash have been published.
