At least 257 people were killed when a military plane crashed in Algeria.
The plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Boufarik military airport.
The causes of the new accident remain unknown so far, while an investigation is underway to clarify the case.
Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has declared three days of national mourning.
Most of the dead were military personnel and their families, the defense ministry said, and ten crew members were among the victims.
The plane, an Ilyushin Il-76, was traveling in Bechar in the southwest of the country. It was scheduled to stop in the town of Tindouf, near the border with Morocco and the disputed territory of Western Sahara.
Wednesday's plane crash is the deadliest in the world since July 2014, when 298 people were killed on Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 in eastern Ukraine. It is also the second fatal plane crash since 2003.
