A plane carrying at least 250 people, most of them military personnel, crashed in southeastern Iran, Tehran television reported Wednesday.

The plane was flying from Zahedan, on the Pakistan border, to Kerman, about 500 miles southeast of Tehran.

The state-run television said the plane, a Russian-built Antonov, lost contact with the control tower at 5:30 p.m. and crashed near Shahdad, about 50 miles from Kerman. Television said no other details were immediately available.

The last reported commercial crash in Iran was Feb. 12 when a Russian-built Tupolev Tu-154 slammed into a snow-covered mountain near the city of Khorramabad, about 230 miles southwest of Tehran. All 119 on board the Iran Air Tours flight were killed.
