A Chinese passenger plane with 132 people on board has crashed in Guangxi hills in Southern China.
The China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737 was flying from Kunming to Guangzhou when it came down in Guangxi province and caught fire.
The number of casualties and reason for the crash are not yet known.
Flight tracking data suggested the plane lost height rapidly from its cruising altitude before hitting the ground.
The state-owned carrier is one of China’s big three airlines, along with China Southern and Air China.
Flight MU5735 left Kunming at 13:11 local time (05:11 GMT) and was scheduled to arrive in Guangzhou at 15:05.
The plane dropped thousands of meters in three minutes, flight tracker data showed.
President Xi Jinping called for investigators to determine the cause of the crash as soon as possible and to ensure “absolute” aviation safety.
