At least 72 people were killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo after a plane, carrying 112 passengers and crew, crash-landed at Kisangani airport.

The Hewa Bora Airways plane was en route from Kinshasa to Kisangani and Goma.

Reports said earlier that at least 53 survivors had been pulled out from the wreckage of the Boeing 727.

But DR Congo's transport ministry says 50 people survived tragedy.
