Smolensku. Polish president Lech Kaczynski and other senior officials are among dozens of people killed when their plane crashed in western Russia.
Officials said there were no survivors when the jet crashed as it approached Smolensk airport.
Russia's Emergency Ministry said there were 96 dead - 88 of them members of a Polish state delegation to the nearby Katyn forest, scene of a Polish massacre during WW2.
"Nothing like this has ever happened in Poland," Paszkowski said. "We can assume with great certainty that all persons on board have been killed."
A week of mourning has been declared in Poland and the Queen and other world leaders have sent tributes.
Russian TV broadcast footage showing the plane's wreckage scattered in a forest with parts of it still on fire.
"It clipped the tops of the trees, crashed down and broke into pieces," the governor of the Smolensk region, Sergei Antufiev, told Russia-24 television news network.
