Aircraft carrying Malawi’s Vice President goes missing

A military plane carrying Malawi’s Vice President Saulos Chilima and nine others has gone missing, BBC reports, quoting a statement from the president’s office.

The Malawi Defense Force aircraft “went off the radar” after it left the capital, Lilongwe, on Monday morning.

The aircraft failed to make its scheduled landing at Mzuzu International Airport about 370 kilometres to the north about an hour later.
