At least 68 people were killed in a plane crash in Nepal, officials said. A Yeti Airlines ATR-72 plane crashed near Pokhara.
Thirty-seven were men, 25 were women, three were children and three were infants, Nepal's civil aviation authority reported.
The aircraft had been flying from the capital of Kathmandu to Pokhara, the country's second-most populous city, the country's state media The Rising Nepal reported. Pokahara is located some 129 kilometers west of Kathmandu. "I sincerely appeal to the security personnel, all agencies of the Nepal government and the general public to start an effective rescue," Dahal said on Twitter.
Last May, a Tara Air flight carrying 22 people crashed into a Himalayan mountain at an altitude of about 14,500 feet. That was the country's 19th plane crash in 10 years and its 10th fatal one during the same period, according to the Aviation Safety Network database.
