At least 64 people were killed when a domestic flight crashed in Pokhara, Nepal.

The Yeti Airlines domestic flight was carrying 72 people from the capital Kathmandu when it went down in Pokhara in clear weather, according to officials from Nepal’s Civil Aviation Authority.

Nepal’s Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal said it was a “tragic” incident and that he’d be calling an emergency cabinet meeting, with an ongoing investigation into the cause.

It was also carrying international passengers including five Indians, four Russians and one Irish, two South Koreans, one Australian, one French and one Argentine national.

Deadly air incidents are common in Nepal, which has small airports in mountainous terrain where weather conditions can change quickly.

The crash is Nepal’s worst since 1992, when a Pakistan International Airlines Airbus A300 crashed into a hillside upon approach to Kathmandu, killing all 167 people on board.
