A Boeing 737 has crashed after takeoff from José Martí International Airport in Havana. The plane belongs to Cubana de Aviación and was reportedly carrying over 100 on board.
The plane reportedly crashed shortly after takeoff. It was bound for Holguin, a domestic flight of about one hour and 20 minutes. In a picture taken from inside the airport, a plume of black smoke can be seen rising from the end of a runway, as firefighters responded to the incident.
