An Aseman Airlines passenger plane carrying 66 people has crashed into mountain in central Iran, murdering everyone onboard.

The airline confirmed there had been no survivors after ATR 72 aircraft had gone down and vanished from radar Sunday morning, February 18.

One kid was said to be among the passengers onboard.

The plane was flying from the capital city of Tehran to Yasuj when it crashed into Desa mountain, Isfahan province around 50 min after take-off.

Helicopters carrying recovery teams were unable to land at the crash site because of severe weather, including snow and dense fog.

They are trying to reach the bodies of the victims on foot, but it could take a day or even more to get to the site due to the rugged terrain and weather conditions.
