Seventy-eight people have been killed as a Moroccan military aircraft crashed into a mountain in the south of the country, the army has said in a statement, as cited by BBC.
The army said three other people were severely wounded in the crash, in what is thought to be one of Morocco's deadliest air disasters in years.
The C-130 Hercules aircraft crashed near Guelmim, just north of the disputed Western Sahara territory.
The accident occurred at about 09:00 local time (08:00 GMT) as it was attempting to make a scheduled stop at a military air base some 10km (six miles) east of Guelmim.
The army blames the accident on poor weather.
The plane was travelling from Dakhla, in the Western Sahara, to Kinitra in northern Morocco.
