A plane carrying 16 people went missing in a mountainous area of Indonesia's restive Papua province on Sunday, officials said. The Merpati Airlines plane carrying 13 passengers and three crew was flying from Jayapura to Oksibil town when it lost contact with air traffic control, transport safety chief Herry Bhakti Singayuda told AFP.
"We're still trying to locate it," he said. District mountain transport head Dumaroni suggested that weather may have been a factor, adding that everyone on board the plane was Indonesian. - AFP
