Reports at the time of publishing this story, there was no information if there were any casualties or the state the injured are in.

On Wednesday morning, phone signals from the Fly540 plane that went missing on Tuesday night were located in the Aberdares.

According to Kenya Wildlife Services Assistant Director in charge of Mountain Areas, Simon Gitau, search operations will be concentrated around Kinangop area.

Reports also indicate that the aerial hunt for the plane was frustrated by bad weather that has been experienced in the area.

Gitau further disclosed that a section of the rescue team was waiting to be airlifted from Njambini playground to the search area at 7 am on Wednesday.

When last spotted, the plane was flying at 11,000 ft above sea level at 40 nautical miles from Nairobi.

The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA)-bound plane had 8 passengers and 2 crew members on board.
