JAKARTA - A US military plane with four people on board has crashed in northern Norway, local police and the Joint Rescue Coordination Center (JRCC) said.

The US Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey was taking part in a NATO military exercise called Cold Response when it was reported missing at 17.26 GMT (0026 GMT/Saturday), the JRCC said.

Rescue helicopters and a Norwegian military Orion plane searching the area spotted debris from the air at 2017 GMT after receiving an emergency signal.

"We have found a plane that crashed. We see no signs of life," said Nordland police chief of staff Bent Eilertsen.

"We have been told it was an American plane with four Americans on board," he said.

Due to bad weather, the rescue plane was unable to land. Alternatively, police and rescue services are trying to reach the site by land, but it is not clear how long it will take.

"It was dark, the weather conditions were bad and there was a risk of an avalanche," Eilertsen said.

The plane was undergoing training and was scheduled to land around 17:00 GMT. The weather in the area was unfavorable, with deteriorating conditions.
