    Gen. Myat Min Oo said the Chinese-made Y-8 turboprop aircraft was carrying 90 passengers - mostly families of military personnel - and 14 crew members when it went missing Wednesday afternoon.

    "The military plane went missing and lost contact after it took off from Myeik, and now the military has started a sea and air search with naval ships and military aircraft and is preparing for rescue operations," he said.

    He said it was raining at the time, but not heavily.
