A plane reported missing on Wednesday has been found crashed in the mountains of Nepal in Myagdi district.
The burned plane was surrounded by several bodies from the crash, the country’s aviation minister Aananda Prasad Pokharel told the AFP news agency.
All 23 people on board the plane were killed. This revises an earlier death toll of 21.
All but two of those on board the Twin Otter aircraft (like the one pictured above) were Nepalese. The other two victims were from China and Kuwait. The flight was operated by Tara Air, which said three of the victims were crew members.
