Eyewitnesses say a cargo plane has crashed near Khartoum airport in Sudan. Initial reports said there was a big explosion in a residential area.
The BBC's Amber Henshaw in Khartoum says five people are thought to have been on board the aircraft but it is not clear whether they survived.
Sudan has a poor reputation for air safety, especially on domestic flights.
About 30 people died early this month when a plane burst into flames after landing at Khartoum airport this month.
Eyewitnesses say the cargo plane took off just before 0700 local time (0400 GMT), but then experienced a problem with one of its wings and crashed at the end of the runway.
"Parts of the plane are lying everywhere. There are huge patches of dark engine oil," one witness told Reuters news agency after Monday's reported crash.
Another witness described hearing a large explosion at the time.
