An Air India Express plane with 191 people on board has crashed at an airport in the southern state of Kerala, killing at least 16 people.

The Boeing 737, en route from Dubai, skidded off the runway in rain and broke in two after landing at Calicut airport.

The flight was repatriating Indians stranded by the coronavirus crisis.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was "pained by the plane accident".

MK Raghavan, a lawmaker from Calicut, told the BBC at least 16 people died in the crash.

Most people on board the Boeing 737 jet have been evacuated, with dozens of them taken to hospital with injuries, some serious.
