At least 40 people have died after a plane carrying 72 people has crash landed near Pokhara International Airport, Nepal, in the early hours of this morning. The daily Kathmandu Post newspaper reported there was 68 passengers and four crew members aboard, quoting a spokesperson for Yeti Airlines.
A rescue operation is believed to be underway with some survivors reportedly taken to hospital. Chief District Officer Tek Bahadur KC initially told local news that "around 30 bodies have been recovered", but a grim tally updated to 40 short while later, reports the Mirror.
Initial unconfirmed reports say there were a total of 15 foreign nationals on board - five Indians, four Russians, one Irish, one Australian, one French, one Argentine and two South Koreans, the Kathmandu Post reported. Three of the passengers were infants, three were children and the remaining 62 were adults. Fifty-three Nepalis are thought to have been killed, the Post said.
Images and videos shared on Twitter showed plumes of smoke billowing from the crash site. Nepal army spokesman Krishna Bhandari said: “We expect the death toll to rise. The plane was torn to pieces." But later, officials hinted that, miraculously, there may have been survivors in the crash debris.
"We have recovered 29 bodies so far and (we) have also sent some survivors to the hospital for treatment," Gurudatta Dhakal, assistant chief official in Kaski district, told AFP.
According to preliminary local reports, the plane crashed as it was coming in to land at Pokhara Airport at around 11.10am local time - 5.25am in the UK. Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal said the plane was flying from the capital, Kathmandu, to Pokhara in central Nepal, and urged security personnel and the general public
