A Myanmar passenger jet packed with foreign tourists crash-landed and burst into flames Tuesday in a field in eastern Shan state, killing two people and injuring 11 others, officials said.

An 11-year-old child on board was killed when the ageing Fokker-100 jet attempted to land in heavy fog, breaking its tail and catching fire, according to Myanmar's information ministry.
