A Myanmar military plane is missing, the national army chief confirmed in a statement. A local aviation official said 105 people were on board, according to reports.
A search and rescue operation is underway after the plane dropped off the radar on Wednesday while flying over the Andaman Sea between the southern city of Myeik and Yagon.
"Communication was lost suddenly at about 1:35pm when it reached about 20 miles west of Dawei town," the statement read, according to local media. The military has deployed both the air force and navy to search for the aircraft.
