A Spanish air force cargo plane has crashed near Seville airport, Spain’s defence ministry has said.
Thick black smoke could be seen rising from the rural scene of the crash, while pictures on Twitter showed firefighters putting out the flaming wreckage.
The plane, reportedly an Airbus A400M, came down shortly after taking off from Aeropuerto de Sevilla, where they are manufactured, according to the AIRheads FLY blog.
