A China Northern Airlines plane carrying 112 people has crashed into the sea near Dalian in north-east China.
The MD-82 airliner, Flight 6136, is believed to have crashed into the sea some 20 kilometres east of Dalian airport. The plane was flying from Beijing to Dalian, with 103 passengers and nine crew members.
There have been no reports of survivors.
The Dalian crash is the second involving a Chinese airline in less than a month. On 15 April, 129 people died when an Air China Boeing 767 crashed into a fog-covered mountain in South Korea.
