A plane with 12 people on board has crashed in Kwale near Kenya’s coast, the aviation authority has said.

It was flying from the coastal town of Diani to a resort in a game park, Kichwa Tembo, before it went down at 05:30 local time (02:30 GMT), a statement from the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) says.

One news site is quoting police as saying that tourists were on board. Kenyan media have published images of the plane in flames on the ground with debris scattered at the scene of the crash.

The KCAA said government agencies were already on site working to determine the cause of the accident and assess its impact.
