A plane that went missing with 22 people on board has been located in Nepal.
Search and rescue efforts are going into a second day after the Tara Air flight went missing 12 minutes into a 25-minute journey from Pokhara to Jomsom.
Army spokesperson Narayan Silwal wrote on Twitter that troops had "physically located the plant crash site".
Authorities believe that bad weather was the cause of the incident, according to CNN.
Of the 22 missing people, 13 are citizens of Nepal with four Indian and two German. Two passengers' nationalities remain unknown. The flight was carrying 19 passengers and three crew members.
The Nepalese Army was brought in to help with search efforts on Sunday before fading light and poor weather prevented helicopters from flying in the area of the plane's last known location.
There had been thick cloud cover in the Pokhara-Jomsom area since Sunday morning, the Nepal's weather office said, with one of the search helicopters forced back to Jomsom by conditions.
The plane lost contact with aviation staff five minutes before its scheduled landing at Jomsom, an anonymous source told Reuters.
Tara Air mainly flies Canadian-built Twin Otter turboprop planes. Flight-tracking website Flightradar24 said the missing aircraft made its first flight in April 1979.
Nepal's mountainous conditions have contributed to previous air accidents, with the country home to eight of the world's 14 highest mountains and its weather unpredictable. Many airstrips are typically sited in difficult-to-reach mountainous areas.
Another Tara Air flight crashed on the same route in 2016 and two years later a US-Bangla Airlines flight from Dhaka to Kathmandu crashed on landing and caught fire, killing 51 of the 71 people on board.
