After a plane carrying 14 people crashed in the Indian Ocean archipelago of the Comoros on Saturday, rescuers hurried to locate any survivors. AB Aviation said its small Cessna plane went off the radar while flying between Moroni and Fomboni on the island of Moheli. It was about 2.5 kilometers (1.6 miles) from its destination.

The Comorian transport ministry said in a statement that “search activities have begun to locate the aircraft’s debris in the coastal area of Djoiezi, confirming the crash.” According to the Comorian administration, all 12 passengers were Comorians, and the two pilots were Tanzanians.
