Un avión, un Boeing 737 de la compañía Ethiopian Airlines, ha caído al mar Mediterráneo minutos después de despegar del aeropuerto de Beirut por causas de momento desconocidas.
A bordo del aparato iban 92 personas. Se estima que cerca de unos 50 pasajeros eran libaneses, mientras que del resto, una gran mayoría eran etíopes.
Fuentes del aeropuerto de la capital de Líbano afirmaron que los radares del aeródromo perdieron al aparato minutos después de la maniobra de despegue. Algunos testigos, residentes en la costa, afirmaron haber visto cómo el aparato se precipitaba en llamas al agua.
La aeronave se dirigía a Addis Abeba.

Lebanese aviation sources said the plane was heading for the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa and had 85 passengers on board.
Reuters news agency quotes airport sources as saying that about 50 of the passengers were Lebanese nationals.
The majority of the remaining passengers were Ethiopian, they add.
