Authorities in Malawi are currently conducting a search and rescue operation for a missing military aircraft that was carrying the country's vice president and nine other individuals. The plane departed from Malawi's capital on Monday morning but failed to reach its intended destination, with authorities losing contact with the aircraft.
Weather conditions have been identified as a potential factor in the disappearance of the aircraft, with reports indicating that bad weather, including fog and poor visibility, has been hampering search efforts. The search operation, now in its second day, involves a combination of air and ground teams, including 200 soldiers from the Malawi Defense Force, police personnel, civil aviation authorities, and forestry service officers.
