A Tanzanian passenger plane has crash-landed into Lake Victoria next to the north-western town of Bukoba.
The Precision Air flight was carrying 43 people, 26 of whom have been rescued and sent to hospital, said a local official.
Rescue workers and local fishermen are on the scene of the crash searching for survivors.
The plane is almost completely submerged with only the brown and green tail fin above the water, surrounded by rescue workers and fishing boats.
Emergency workers are using ropes to try and pull the ATR 42-500 plane out of Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake.
“We want to see if the landing gear is stuck so that we can ask for more technical assistance to push it out of the waters,” said top regional official Albert Chalamila.
One end of the runway at Bukoba airport lies right next to the shore.
President Samia Suluhu Hassan has expressed her condolences to those affected and called for calm as the rescue operation continues.
The plane was flying from Tanzania’s biggest city, Das es Salaam, to Bukoba via Mwanza when it reportedly encountered a storm and heavy rains.
Precision Air is Tanzania’s largest privately owned airline and is partly owned by Kenya Airways.
