Myanmar plane found

YANGON: Bodies and aircraft debris were found in the sea off the southern coast of Myanmar yesterday by ships searching for a military plane that went missing with 122 soldiers, family members and crew on board.

Ten bodies, six adults and four children, were found about 35km off the southern coastal town of Launglon by navy and civilian ships, the military posted on its Facebook page. The search by nine navy ships, five military planes and two helicopters would continue with help from civilian boats, it said.

The Chinese-made Y-8-200F transport plane vanished on Wednesday.
