An airplane believed to have been carrying senior European Union [EU] officials has crashed on the Malta archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea, killing five people.


The small military aircraft crashed on Monday during take-off at around 0720 at Malta’s International Airport near the village of Luqa, near the capital port-city, Valletta.

Sources said that, during take-off and while it was still on the tarmac, the plane suddenly tipped to its right side, and then burst into flames.
