According to this data, there were 132 people on board, including 123 passengers and nine crew members. Chinese state television CCTV previously reported that a fire started in the mountains as a result of the incident.

The plane crashed in a mountainous area in Teng County in Wuzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

There is no information about the dead and injured yet, rescuers went to the scene.

Radar tracking showed that the plane made a steep descent before crashing. Some media quoted a Chinese rescue official as saying that the plane fell apart as it crashed.

“We sent 25 fire engines and 117 firefighters to the scene, but because the accident site is too far away and in the mountains, the fire engines could not reach the wreckage, the firefighters went there on foot,” said a spokesman for the Wuzhou fire brigade.

There is no word on the cause of the crash. The authorities have opened a hotline for relatives of the passengers of the crashed airliner.

According to Flightradar24, the Boeing 737-800 that crashed was manufactured six years ago. According to this site, the plane took off at 13:11 local time (05:11 GMT) and disappeared from radar at 14:22 (06:22 GMT) at an altitude of about 980 meters. It was scheduled to land at 15:05 local time.
