Ten parachutists and a pilot are feared to have died after the plane they were in crashed shortly after taking off in Belgium.
The plane had just lifted into the air from Temploux aerodrome, near Namur, but came down about ten minutes later in a field, the local mayor told AFP.
The aircraft came down in the small village of Marchovlette and burst into flames just before 4pm local time (3pm BST) on Saturday.
One witness told Belgium's Sud Presse newspaper: "The plane flew over my house and I saw pieces fall from the plane.
"Then the plane pitched, and nose dived, crashing about 200 yards away."
Firefighters rushed to the scene, some 75 km (47 miles) south-east of Brussels, but are understood to have been unable to save any of those on board.
Mayor of Fernelmont, Jean-Claude Nihoul, said: "The plane took off from Temploux aerodrome with 10 parachutists and probably a pilot on board and crashed around 10 minutes later in a field.
"All those on board are unfortunately dead. The toll is 10 or 11 victims."
Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo confirmed the news soon after, saying his thoughts were with the families of the victims.
