A cargo plane crashed into a residential area of Pakistan's largest city, sparking a huge blaze and causing at least 11 casualties.

The aircraft came down in Karachi with eight crew on board, less than two minutes after taking off.

All eight, including six Pakistanis, are thought to have died in the crash, with at least three casualties on the ground.

Reporters at the scene said several buildings were on fire and loud explosions could be heard.

The plane crashed in a housing complex for naval officers in the neighbourhood of Dalmai, it is reported.

Witness Hasan Hashmi said fire could be seen from one of the plane's engines as it flew overhead.

Aviation authority spokesman Pervais George said the Russian-made cargo plane was heading to Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, when it came down.

Local television reported the plane was an Ilyshin Il-89, a multipurpose cargo aircraft often used for ferrying humanitarian aid to developing countries.

The crash is the third in less than four months in Pakistan.

Earlier this month in Karachi, 21 people were killed when a small passenger plane crashed soon after take off.

another aviation tragedy in Pakistan, really heartbreaking.

[murphyslaw79]

happened right behind my inlaws flat. They can see the fire from their flat. Thankfully they are all ok. Just hope that casualties were at a minimum as is damage to peoples home and businesses.

Sky News reporting 11 people killed...

my apologies , the channel i was watching on said the injured were taken to Civil Hospital and no one is dead

I then hope that the damage is minimum and i agree with everyone too many crashes these days . The airblue incident was being investigated but nothing came out as usual

[Wiji]

As soon as I told my Sudanese friend about this, he said they must've been transporting weapons (rather than 'relief aid') to Sudan.

That was before I told him that the entire crew was Russian.

Another plane crash :(
Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilayhi raaji'oon.

Rest In Peace to those who passed away. Sad way to go.:(

When I read that it crashed into a housing complex, I expected many casualties but by Allah's miracle, the plane fell just metres away from occupied houses.

[Cover Drive]

Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilayhi Raaji'oon.

May Allah (SWT) bless and forgive all of those who passed away.

Have seen these aircrafts flying over my manteral's house and I must say these aircrafts look scary as it will crash anytime soon!
