At least 52 people are injured after a plane broke into pieces after it skidded off a runway and crashed into a field in Turkey, officials say.
"As of now, there are no deaths and the injured are being sent to hospitals," Pegasus Airlines said in a statement.
The privately run NTV television reported that the plane caught fire after skidding but said the blaze had been extinguished. He added that the airport had been closed down and flights were being diverted to Istanbul's main airport.
