A few minutes after taking off from Tallinn, the airliner was joined at close range by two Soviet <a href="/wiki/Ilyushin_DB-3" title="Ilyushin DB-3">Ilyushin DB-3</a> (DB-3T) torpedo bombers. The Soviet aircraft opened fire with their machine guns and lethally damaged <i>Kaleva</i>, causing it to crash into water a few kilometers northeast of the Estonian Keri island in the Gulf of Finland.

The passengers on the last flight of <i>Kaleva</i> included two German businessmen, two French embassy couriers, one Swede, an American courier, and an Estonian woman. The French couriers had over 120 kilograms (260 lb) of diplomatic mail in the plane.
