A Myanmar military plane carrying more than 100 people went missing near Yangon and the southern city of Myeik, officials said.
The aircraft disappeared off the radars on Wednesday, the army chief's office said in a statement, adding that search and rescue was ongoing.
"Communication was lost suddenly at about 1:35pm (07:05 GMT) when it reached about 20 miles west of Dawei town," the statement said.
An airport source, who asked not to be named, told the AFP news agency that the plane was carrying 105 passengers and 11 crew members.
This is a developing story.
