The find marks the end of a nearly 24-hour search, but the fate of passengers is still unknown.
Rescuers in Nepal have found the crash site of a plane that went missing on Sunday with 22 people on board.
The passenger plane was on a 20-minute flight when it lost contact with air traffic control five minutes before it was due to land.Four Indians, two Germans and 16 Nepalis were on board the plane, according to reports. But search operations were hampered by bad weather and mountainous terrain, and only resumed on Monday morning.
"Search and rescue troops have physically located the plane crash site," Narayan Silwal said on Twitter. Nepal has had a fraught record of aviation accidents, often due to its sudden weather changes and airstrips located in rocky terrains that are difficult to access.
