A plane with 150 people on board has crashed in the Indian Ocean archipelago of Comoros, news reports said.
The plane belonged to Yemeni state carrier Yemenia Air, media reports said.
According to Reuters, Comoros Vice-President Idi Nadhoim said, "We don't know if there are any survivors among the 150 people on the plane."
Nadhoim said the accident happened in the early hours of Tuesday, but could not provide further details.
The Airbus 310 was believed to be flying Comoros residents returning from Paris, The Associated Press said.
CNN quoted government officials from Comoros as saying it was unclear whether there were any survivors.
Comoros is located off the eastern coast of Africa between Madagascar and Mozambique.
