В Пакистане потерпел крушение самолет, сообщает Associated Press со ссылкой на местные телекомпании.

Самолет упал утром в пятницу, 5 ноября, недалеко от аэропорта города Карачи, расположенного на юге страны. Agence France-Presse, ссылаясь на представителей пакистанской авиационной администрации, сообщает, что на борту упавшего самолета находились 20 человек.

Самолет, по данным собеседников AFP, принадлежал одной из нефтяных компаний и должен был отвезти сотрудников на месторождение в Бхит Шах, провинция Синд. Вскоре после вылета из Карачи пилоты самолета сообщили диспетчерам аэропорта о проблемах с двигателем и запросили разрешение на посадку.
