Indian Ocean air crash
An Airbus 310 with 153 people on board has crashed in the Indian Ocean.
The Yemenia Air aircraft was flying from the Yemeni capital of Sanaa to Moroni, the capital of the Comoros archipelago.
According to BBC reports, Yemeni aviation officials have spotted some bodies and have located the wreckage of the plane.
It is not known whether there were any survivors or what caused the crash, but there were reports of bad weather in the area.
Most passengers had travelled to Sanaa from Paris or Marseille on a different aircraft. It is believed 66 of the passengers were French.
Earlier this month, an Air France Airbus 330 travelling from Rio de Janeiro to Paris crashed into the Atlantic, killing all 228 on board.
