According to a statement from the president’s office,
“the Malawi Defense Force aircraft disappeared from radar after departing from the capital city of Lilongwe earlier today.”
The Malawi’s Vice President, was en route to Mzuzu to attend the funeral of Ralph Kasambara, a prominent figure in Malawi. Approximately 10 minutes before its scheduled landing at Mzuzu Airport, the plane lost contact.
