Indian Military Plane Missing

India's air force says a military plane with at least 14 people on board is missing.

Military officials say the Russian-made AN-32 turboprop had taken off from an air base in the eastern Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh Tuesday and was due to land in the northeastern state of Assam.

They say they fear the plane has crashed.

An air force spokesman (Ranjit Sahu) says the military conducted an aerial search Tuesday over a region which contains mountains and dense forests but did not locate any wreckage.

He says the search will resume Wednesday.
