Indonesian rescuers have recovered one body near the wreckage of an ATR 42 after a plane crash in mountainous terrain on Sulawesi. The aircraft went missing on 17 January while flying from Yogyakarta to Makassar, with 11 people reported on board.
Search teams say dense fog, strong winds, and steep cliffs have slowed access to the site. Investigators are probing the cause.
