Harare Airport Plane Accident

An aircraft has been involved in an accident at Zimbabwe's Harare International Airport, a Zimbabwe aviation official say.

The head of Zimbabwe's Civil Aviation Authority, David Chawota, told Reuters news agency there had been "injuries, no deaths".

However, there are conflicting reports saying that the incident was part of a safety drill.

Witnesses said several ambulances were seen heading towards the airport.

AFP news agency is reporting the plane involved was a Boeing 767 flying from London.

The BBC's Brian Hungwe said as he arrived at the airport he could see smoke from its eastern perimeter.

But he said the situation was not clear.

"We are trying to establish what has caused the accident," Mr Chawota told AFP.
