Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed offered his “deepest condolences to the families of those that have lost their loved ones,” his office said on Twitter.

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta also wrote on Twitter that he is “saddened” by the crash.

“My prayers go to all the families and associates of those on board,” he added.

There have been previous accidents involving the Ethiopian Airlines in the past. In 2010, a plane traveling from Beirut to Addis Ababa crashed in the Mediterranean Sea killing 90 people.

4 years before, 125 out of 175 people died after the plane was hijacked and crashed. 

It is not yet clear what caused the recent accident.
