Malawian President Lazarus Chakwera said today there had been no survivors when a plane carrying Vice President Saulos Chilima and nine others crashed into a forest.
The crash occurred weeks after Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi died in a helicopter crash.
Malawian searchers found the wreckage of the plane that was carrying Chilima today, a day after the aircraft went missing in bad weather.
The military plane carrying Chilima and nine others disappeared on Monday after it failed to land in the northern city of Mzuzu due to poor visibility and was told to return to the capital, Lilongwe.
Rescuers had been combing fog-cloaked forest south of Mzuzu on Tuesday after authorities located the last tower it transmitted to before the plane disappeared.
Earlier, Army Commander General Paul Valentino Phiri said other countries, including Malawi’s neighbours, had been aiding the search effort, with support including helicopters and drones.
