A Kenya Airways plane reported missing today has crashed in southern Cameroon, the central African country's state radio said.

The radio said the plane had crashed near a location called Niete, south of the Cameroonian port town of Kribi and north of the border with Equatorial Guinea.

It gave no further details.

Kenya Airways earlier said it had lost contact with a 737-800 airliner bound for Nairobi with 115 people aboard, shortly after it took off from Douala in Cameroon.
