At least six people are reported to have been killed after an Angolan Airlines aircraft crashed on landing at an airport in northern Angola.
The Boeing 737 aircraft carrying 78 people crashed on Thursday when it landed at an airport in M'banza Congo, a town about 300km north of the capital Luanda, state news agency Angop reported from the scene.
Officials could not immediately confirm the accident.
The agency said among those killed in the accident was the municipal administrator of M'Banza Congo and a senior Roman Catholic priest from Italy.
EU blocks airline
The aircraft landed halfway down the runway and bounced out of control before crashing into a house, the report said.
The injured were taken to a hospital in the nearest city, called Zaire, Angop said.
The European Union announced on the same day as the crash that it was adding the Angolan airline TAAG, to its revised international blacklist.
TAAG Angola Airlines will be barred from flying to the European Union because of safety concerns, the European Commission said.
