Fire destroys plane following crash in Nepal: all 23 on board dead
A plane that crashed in central Nepal on Wednesday has been largely destroyed by fire, with no one surviving, representative of Pokhara city airport Dipak Baran said.
The aircraft carrying 23 people, including two minors and three crew members, crashed into a mountain in central Nepal`s Myagdi district during bad weather earlier on Wednesday.

"According to the information [available to us] at this time, there were no survivors on board. This is a mountainous area. A large part of the aircraft has burned down," Baran told RIA Novosti.

The Tara Airlines passenger jet disappeared from radars on Wednesday morning. A search and rescue mission involving security staff and military aircraft was launched shortly after its disappearance.
