The death toll from a cargo plane crash in the southern US state of Kentucky rose to 12 on Wednesday, with investigators saying the accident was caused by one of the engines catching fire and detaching during takeoff.

The McDonnell Douglas MD-11, operated by package delivery giant UPS and bound for Hawaii, crashed at 5:15 pm (2215 GMT) Tuesday, shortly after departing from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.

It exploded into flames as it plowed into businesses adjacent to the airport, killing multiple people on the ground. A three-person crew was aboard.

"I'm deeply saddened to share that the death toll has risen to 12, with several individuals still un accounted for," Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said on X.

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear called the tragedy "heartbreaking" and "unimaginable."
