Ukrainian transport aircraft An-12 with seven people on board crashed in southern Algeria.
According to the BBC, the plane crash occurred on Saturday morning.
The plane was heading to Equatorial Guinea, but collapsed after only a few minutes after taking off from the airport of the city of Tamanrasset, the capital of the eponymous province of Algeria.
As a representative of the Ministry of Transport of Algeria said, the remains of three charred bodies were found at the crash site.
The fate of the rest of the people on board is unknown. According to rescuers, the search is made difficult by being carried out on rough mountain terrain.
