Indonesian search and rescue teams are heading to a remote part of the western Papua region where a plane is believed to have crashed on Sunday, BBC reported. Officials have confirmed they spotted debris near the town of Oksibil.

The Trigana Air flight was heading to the town from provincial capital, Jayapura, when it lost contact at 14:55 local time (05:55 GMT) on Sunday.

The plane was carrying 44 adult passengers, five children and infants, and five crew members. It is not yet known if anyone survived.
Indonesia's postal office has told the BBC that the plane was also carrying four bags containing cash, about 6.5 billion rupiah ($486,000; £300,000), for villagers living in remote places in Papua.

"Our colleagues carry those bags to be handed out directly to poor people over there," said the head of Jayapura's post office, Haryono, who goes by only his first name.
